Artificial intelligence - human responsibility


According to a recent study by NTT Data, a leading global provider of digital business and technology services, a responsibility gap threatens to undermine the advances made possible by AI. More than 80 percent of executives admit that leadership skills, governance and employee readiness are not keeping pace with AI advances. This jeopardizes investment, safety and public trust. The report "The AI Responsibility Gap: Why Leadership is the Missing Link" is based on the responses of more than 2,300 executives and decision makers from 34 countries and shows the urgent need for a leadership-driven mandate that aligns AI innovation with ethical responsibility.
The study shows that the gap in AI responsibility is widening: The management floor is divided. While a third of managers believe that responsibility is more important than innovation, another third prioritize innovation over security. The remaining third rate both aspects as equally important. Regulatory uncertainty inhibits growth. More than 80 percent of executives say that unclear government regulations are hindering investment and implementation of AI, delaying its adoption. Security and ethics lag behind AI ambitions: 89 percent of executives are concerned about AI security risks. But only 24 percent of CISOs believe their organization has solid policies in place to balance AI risks and value creation.
67 percent of managers state that their employees do not have the necessary skills to use AI effectively. At the same time, 72 percent admit that they have no guidelines for the responsible use of AI. 75 percent of managers state that their AI goals conflict with the company's sustainability goals. This is forcing companies to rethink energy-intensive AI solutions.
