LONDON, June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Predictions that AI will have a
major, rapid effect on jobs appears overhyped. Although almost
three quarters (71%) of tech leaders (CIOs, CTOs etc) have deployed
GenAI to at least some extent to employees, almost all (99%) report
that it's not yet replacing jobs. In contrast, over half (51%) are
using GenAI as a personal productivity tool to support existing
jobs, to make them more effective.
These findings are revealed today (18th June 2024) in the Nash Squared Digital Leadership
Report Pulse Survey, which forms part of its larger annual survey
of technology leadership, which has identified technology trends
for over 25 years, and taken in the views of over 50,000 technology
leaders.
Bev White, CEO of Nash
Squared, said:
"Our Digital Leadership Report Pulse Survey paints a picture
of great promise in AI, but also one where most tech leaders are
still trying to make it work. There's no doubt there have been some
incredible advances. One tech leader mentioned how the last year
has seen a giant leap in cancer screening through AI – good news
for us all. Another talks about how Machine Learning has supported
the increase in fundraising revenue for their higher education
institution, opening access to a wider student population.
But although the 'replace jobs' impact of GenAI is headline
grabbing news, in our discussions with tech leaders there is a
sense that its impact will be evolutionary rather than
revolutionary. As organisations change and grow AI will be stitched
into the operations and structure; its impact happening bit by
bit."
