From emerging technology to incremental experimentation and now to widescale adoption, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has moved the needle rapidly and is now becoming a business imperative.
From emerging technology to incremental experimentation and now to widescale adoption, Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has moved the needle rapidly and is now becoming a business imperative.
While investment in GenAI seems immune to a slowdown, there are equal measures of lingering concerns about data privacy, cost unpredictability, and performance while leveraging multiple GenAI implementations.

According to IDC's Global GenAI Technology Trends Survey 2024, security and privacy have emerged as the decisive factors shaping how organizations deploy and utilize generative AI—with 43% of enterprises citing security as their primary concern, followed closely by data privacy at 40% and costs coming in third with 29%.

By putting GenAI to work, organizations see both productivity gains and revenue jumps in business use cases when deploying the technology. Yet, Implementation challenges demand strategic solutions.

Not all access is sanctioned, especially with the advent of bring-your-own AI, or BYOAI. Employees accessing data via external systems and public LLMs potentially expose intellectual property, customer information, and proprietary business intelligence to third-party systems.

The rise of shadow AI and unauthorized tool usage introduces unprecedented vulnerabilities. As employees leverage external AI services for productivity gains, organizations face increasing risks of data exposure, intellectual property leakage, and compliance violations. This security gap between innovation and protection demands immediate attention.

Balancing Spiraling GenAI Usage vs. Runaway Costs
Balancing Spiraling GenAI Usage vs. Runaway Costs
The unchecked growth of generative AI usage in the enterprise can lead to runaway costs. As more departments utilize AI services with token-based pricing models, seemingly small expenses can quickly escalate, potentially exceeding budgetary constraints.
The unchecked growth of generative AI usage in the enterprise can lead to runaway costs. As more departments utilize AI services with token-based pricing models, seemingly small expenses can quickly escalate, potentially exceeding budgetary constraints.
While promising, the rising use of AI in the enterprise presents a cost challenge. With most AI services operating on a pay-per-use token system, costs can escalate rapidly as more departments adopt AI tools. This necessitates shifting towards predictable, fixed-cost models to ensure sustainable AI adoption.
