Sydney, Australia Xinhua A global study released on Wednesday has found that three out of five people, about 61 percent, are wary about trusting artificial intelligence (AI) systems, reporting either ambivalence or an unwillingness to trust. Researchers from the University of Queensland and KPMG Australia surveyed more than 17,000 people from 17 countries across the world, such as Australia, China, France and the United States, which were regarded by the study as leaders in AI activity and readiness within their region. According to the study, only 39 percent said they are willing to trust AI systems, while a third of people worldwide reported high acceptance. Though about 85 percent believed the use of AI will result in a wide range of benefits, including improved efficiency, innovation, reduced costs and better use of resources, 73 percent of the respondents also voiced concern over potential risks from AI use. Among the nine listed risks, cybersecurity is the dominant concern raised by 84 percent of people, followed by manipulation or harmful use of AI and job loss due to automation.

ManageEngine commissioned Vanson Bourne to conduct a global study to examine the role of IT and how it will continue to evolve in the future of work. The report discovered that everyone across the enterprise, not just IT, has a stake in how technology is chosen, deployed, configured and used. Most departments outside IT -- particularly quality control (24%) and finance (21%) -- are using artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).

Dell Technologies today released results from a global study that shows organizations are shifting their digital transformation programs into high gear and have already accomplished in a few months what would normally have taken the m years. The findings, updated biennially in the Dell Technologies' Digital Transformation Index (DT Index), indicate organizations are accelerating transformational technology programs during the global COVID-19 pandemic in India. In one of the first global studies to measure business behavior as a result of the pandemic, Dell Technologies' 2020 Index found that 94.7 percent of Indian organizations (Global: 79.7% & APJ: 83.6%) have fast-tracked some digital transformation programs this year and 92.3 percent (Global: 79.3% & APJ: 86%) are re-inventing their business model. The DT Index is a global benchmark indicating organizations' status of digital transformation and their performance across the globe. The survey included 4,300 business leaders (C-suite to Director) from mid-size to enterprise companies across 18 countries.

As businesses struggle to combat increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks, the severity of which is exacerbated by both the vanishing IT perimeters in today's mobile and IoT era, coupled with an acute shortage of skilled security professionals, IT security teams need both a new approach and powerful new tools to protect data and other high-value assets. Increasingly, they are looking to artificial intelligence (AI) as a key weapon to win the battle against stealthy threats inside their IT infrastructures, according to a new global research study conducted by the Ponemon Institute on behalf of Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company HPE, 1.66% This press release features multimedia. The Ponemon Institute study, entitled "Closing the IT Security Gap with Automation & AI in the Era of IoT," surveyed 4,000 security and IT professionals across the Americas, Europe and Asia to understand what makes security deficiencies so hard to fix, and what types of technologies and processes are needed to stay a step ahead of bad actors within the new threat landscape. The research revealed that in the quest to protect data and other high-value assets, security systems incorporating machine learning and other AI-based technologies are essential for detecting and stopping attacks that target users and IoT devices.

Dubbed the "Alien Dreadnought," Tesla's new manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, was designed to be fully automated -- no humans need apply. If all went well, AI-powered robots would enable the company to achieve a weekly production of 5,000 Model 3 electric cars to keep up with burgeoning demand. But Tesla fell far short of that mark, manufacturing just 2,000 vehicles a week.

AI has enormous potential to reshape business, as most business leaders recognize. In a global study published by the Boston Consulting Group and MIT Sloan Management Review, 84 percent of the 3,000 business leaders interviewed expect AI to give them a competitive advantage. Despite the anticipation, though, AI is still vastly underutilized in many of today's industries. Only 23 percent of the leaders surveyed had already incorporated AI into their business models. This could put businesses that aren't utilizing AI at a huge disadvantage compared to companies that have already adopted the technology and excelled at its integration.

Lito Tayag, country managing director of Accenture PH, explains the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies for businesses during a video conference with Cebu media at Robinsons Cybergate on Feb. 7, 2018. There is now an urgent need for businesses and organizations in Cebu to employ more intelligent technologies in their operations, an official in the industry said. Lito Tayag, country managing director of Accenture Philippines, said Cebu is lagging behind as the rest of the world embraces artificial intelligence (AI) technologies as well as proper human-machine collaboration in doing business. "Technology is a way to improve business. However, many are lagging behind. Our Cebu business counterparts have lower appreciation of this urgency compared to those in our study," he said in a video conference yesterday at the Accenture office at Robinsons Cybergate.

A new global study reveals that while consumers are optimistic about the benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they also express fear and confusion about how businesses use AI to engage them today.
