ESG Research Unveils Critical Gaps in Responsible AI Practices Across Industries

Comprehensive Study Highlights the Imperative for Enhanced AI Governance, Transparency, and Collaboration

PHILADELPHIA, April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qlik®, a global leader in data integration, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), has sponsored a study by TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) to shine a light on the state of responsible AI practices across industries. This landmark research delves into the pressing need for robust ethical frameworks, transparent AI operations, and cross-industry collaboration to navigate the complexities of AI integration into business processes. The findings underscore the urgency for organizations to prioritize responsible AI to not only adhere to emerging regulations, but also to foster trust and inclusivity in AI-driven innovations.

The ESG research report reveals insightful data on the adoption, challenges, and strategic initiatives surrounding responsible AI:

  • Widespread Adoption of AI Technologies: An overwhelming 97% of surveyed organizations are actively engaging with AI, with a significant portion (74%) already incorporating generative AI technologies in production. This marks a notable shift towards AI-driven operations across sectors.
  • Investment Versus Strategy Gap: While all respondents acknowledge active investments in AI, a stark 61% are dedicating a substantial budget towards these technologies. However, there's a notable discrepancy in strategic planning with 74% of organizations admitting they still lack a comprehensive, organization-wide approach to responsible AI.
  • Challenges in Ethical AI Practices: The report highlights several key challenges faced by organizations, including:
    • A significant 86% face challenges with ensuring transparency and explainability in AI systems, pointing to a critical need for solutions that demystify AI processes.
    • Nearly all organizations (99%) face hurdles in staying compliant with AI regulations and standards, underscoring the complex regulatory landscape surrounding AI technologies.
  • Operational Impact and Prioritization of Responsible AI: Despite the challenges, a robust 74% of organizations rate responsible AI as a top priority, signaling a growing recognition of its importance. Yet, over a quarter of organizations have encountered increased operational costs, regulatory scrutiny, and market delays due to inadequate responsible AI measures.
  • Stakeholder Engagement in AI Decision-making: The research emphasizes a broad stakeholder landscape in the realm of responsible AI, with a significant emphasis on IT departments playing a proactive role. This highlights the necessity for inclusive and collaborative approaches in ethical AI deployment and governance.
