Business leaders still don't really understand generative AI, despite investing heavily in the technology, and CIOs need to take a lead on changing this confusion
Despite talking a good game about the technology, business leaders still don't really understand what generative AI is, according to research published from Pegasystems.
The study found that leaders tended to overestimate their knowledge of AI, with 93% of respondents claiming to have a good understanding of the technology and how it works.
But in spite of this claimed understanding, 80% of leaders thought that AI has been in general business use for less than five years, with only 7% correctly answering that AI has been in mainstream use for over 10 years already.
