Cisco's 2024 AI Readiness Index: Urgency Rises, Readiness Falls
Cisco News, Tuesday, November 19th, 2024
Leaders feel the pressure; 98% report increased urgency to deliver on AI and 85% believe they have less than 18 months to act.
Cisco announced the findings from the second annual AI Readiness Index. The report explores how prepared organizations are to invest in, deploy and use AI. Nearly eight thousand organizations took part in the report.
Most notably, the report highlights a huge chasm between the urgency companies feel to deploy AI and their readiness to do so. Nearly all companies (98%) report the urgency to deploy AI has increased in the last year. However, the research found that from 2023 to 2024, global AI readiness in the enterprise has actually declined.
