Responsible policies and practices
CIOs may have the tech stack to funnel AI-ready data into high-impact use cases but still encounter resistance from the wider C-suite . There ’ s good reason for this : the risks in harnessing Gen AI are real and widely understood .
Such hesitations could lead boards to block the use of LLMs outright . But employees , in and out of work , are already using gen AI . We ’ ve found that 76 % of the general public feels positive about the increasing use of Gen AI to create content they consume .
Instead of blunt diktats , CIOs should oversee stringent data governance and implement responsible AI frameworks . Such frameworks will establish where AI will and won ’ t be applied and acceptable levels of risks .
And strict data governance will ensure that wherever AI is applied , it ’ s done so leveraging the most accurate , high-impact data .
