The business world has high expectations for generative AI tools in the coming year, specifically in hope that business efficiency and growth will see positive impacts, said new research.
The recent PWC survey of investors and analysts has revealed that approximately three -quarters (74%) think that technology will increase productivity, exceeding the global average by 66%, which means that three out of five now provide increased profitability.
More broadly, investors seem optimistic about wider economic prospects, more than half (53%) anticipating global economic growth over the next 12 months.
AI stimulates economic growth after all
The figures reflect another recent CEO of the CEO of the company, 61% of which expect to see global economic growth this year.
However, the impacts of artificial intelligence are not limited to financial advantages; The business scaling (61%), the return on investment (42%), the formatting of stakeholders’ perception (43%) and the improvement in the impact of the workforce (43%) were also considered to be the greatest opportunities in technology.
“Genai has changed the game for companies around the world, but investors are now expecting that he offers real and measurable value,” noted Albertha Charles, head of assets and heritage of PWC UK.
For the future, investors are more eager for companies to increase their workforce (77%) than to deploy artificial intelligence on a large scale (72%), highlighting the crucial role that human workers must play in the AI revolution.
Charles added: “While the adoption of AI accelerates, investors will closely monitor how managers balance technology with the implementation of their workforce to unlock significant gains in profit and productivity.”
Despite optimism, investors still have an eye on macroeconomic volatility (39%), geopolitical conflicts (35%) and cyber liking (34%). Three -quarters (74%) also noted that they would seek to increase investments in companies working with suppliers and communities to build sustainable supply chains, highlighting environmental weighting on decision -making.
