AI transformation concerns climb despite rising confidence levels
Almost half (48%) of Irish business leaders worry about how AI is transforming their organisation, according to Expleo’s latest AI Pulse report.
Data for May revealed that while concern regarding AI’s impact on a business level has hit a record high, confidence in AI continues to hold firm.
At the same time, Expleo’s AI Pulse barometer recorded an overall score of 66 out of 100 – reflecting the broader survey findings that Irish business leaders trust their organisation to use AI ethically.
This marks a notable shift from previous months in which Ireland lagged behind its European neighbours and puts Ireland on par with France and ahead of the UK.
In addition, almost two-thirds (64%) perceived AI to be more of a benefit than a risk, a 10% increase since the research began.
When asked whether their organisation could demonstrate accountable governance in the event of an AI incident, 69% said they were confident it could.
Despite this surge in confidence, concerns regarding transformation are still rising. While 41% were worried about how AI will impact their job and more than half (59%) expressed worry about the risks AI poses to their organisations.
“While the results may seem contradictory, the truth is that worry and confidence are not mutually exclusive. The fact that concern is rising alongside trust and optimism suggests that leaders are engaging seriously with AI rather than shying away from it,” Phil Codd, managing director, Ireland, Expleo, said.
