Rising AI Adoption Prompts Risk Assessments

Adopters of AI in the enterprise are focusing on specific production workloads centered around supervised and deep learning while the number of organizations using AI in production or evaluating the technology jumped to 85 percent of companies polled in an annual survey. Another indication of maturing enterprise AI initiatives is a heavier emphasis on data governance, according to an AI adoption survey released Wednesday (March 18) by O'Reilly Media. More than 26 percent of respondents said they are instituting formal governance processes as concerns about privacy and "trustworthy" AI grow. Nearly 35 percent of those surveyed said they expect to launch AI data governance efforts over the next three years, O'Reilly reported. "AI adoption is proceeding apace," wrote report authors Roger Magoulas and Steve Swoyer.
