Fast forward to 2024, and our data shows that organizations have conducted an average of 37 proofs of concept, but only about five have moved into production. Its been a year of intense experimentation. Now, the big question is: What will it take to move from experimentation to adoption? We were full of ideas and possibilities.
If 2023 was the year of AI discovery and 2024 was that of AI experimentation, then 2025 will be the year that organisations seek to maximise AI-driven efficiencies and leverage AI for competitive advantage. Lack of oversight establishes a different kind of risk, with shadow IT posing significant security threats to organisations.
We may look back at 2024 as the year when LLMs became mainstream, every enterprise SaaS added copilot or virtual assistant capabilities, and many organizations got their first taste of agentic AI. AI at Wharton reports enterprises increased their gen AI investments in 2024 by 2.3 CIOs should consider placing these five AI bets in 2025.
Noting that companies pursued bold experiments in 2024 driven by generative AI and other emerging technologies, the research and advisory firm predicts a pivot to realizing value. In addition, despite billions of dollars invested in AI infrastructure and generative AI in 2023, only 20% of businesses reported earnings benefits from AI in 2024.”
If CIOs don’t improve conversions from pilot to production, they may find their investors losing patience in the process and culture of experimentation. Third, in the CDO Agenda: 2024: Navigating Data and Generative AI Frontiers , 57% of respondents haven’t changed their data environments to support generative AI.
The most pressing responsibilities for CIOs in 2024 will include security, cost containment, and cultivating a data-first mindset.” Here, we detail those and others that comprise eight of the top priorities for CIOs in 2024. Adaptability and useability of AI tools For CIOs, 2023 was the year of cautious experimentation for AI tools.
] Forty-one percent of organizations adopted and used digital platforms for all or most functions in 2024, compared with just 26% in 2023, according to IDC’s May 2024 Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, Wave 5. million machines worldwide, serves as a stark reminder of these risks.
Enterprise technology providers will introduce agentic AI capabilities throughout 2025, enabling organizations to move from experimentation and piloting to broad-scale deployment and integration into existing workstreams, said Todd Lohr, Head of Ecosystems at KPMGs US Advisory division. However, only 12% have deployed such tools to date.
Newly released research from SASs Data and AI Pulse Survey 2024 Asia Pacific finds that only 18% of organisations can be categorised as AI leaders, where the organisation has an AI strategy and long-term investment plans in place.
Right now most organizations tend to be in the experimental phases of using the technology to supplement employee tasks, but that is likely to change, and quickly, experts say. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg for a future of AI organizational disruptions that remain to be seen, according to the firm.
Released in May 2023, the project — which garnered MITRE a 2024 CIO 100 Award for IT leadership and innovation — is integrated with MITRE’s 65-year-old knowledge base and tools, and has been put into production by more than 60% of its 10,000-strong workforce. We took a risk. API available to projects, Cenkl says.
As organizations roll out AI applications and AI-enabled smartphones and devices, IT leaders may need to sell the benefits to employees or risk those investments falling short of business expectations. They need to have a culture of experimentation.” CIOs should be “change agents” who “embrace the art of the possible,” he says.
Recommendation : CIOs should adopt a risk-informed approach, understanding business, customer, and employee impacts before setting application-specific continuous deployment strategies. Shortchanging end-user and developer experiences Many DevOps practices focus on automation, such as CI/CD and infrastructure as code.
The complexity and scale of operations in large organizations necessitate robust testing frameworks to mitigate these risks and remain compliant with industry regulations. Medium companies Medium-sized companies—501 to 5,000 employees—were characterized by agility and a strong focus on GenAI experimentation.
While digital initiatives and talent are the board directors’ top strategic business priorities in 2023-2024, IT spending is forecasted to grow by only 2.4% Then, often reporting to risk, compliance, or security organizations, are separate data governance teams focused on data security, privacy, and quality.
Studies like Foundry’s 2024 State of the CIO report reveal a dramatic change in attitude. As we navigate this terrain, it’s essential to consider the potential risks and compliance challenges alongside the opportunities for innovation. However, its impact on culture must be carefully considered to maximize benefits and mitigate risks.
Yet, according to IDC’s March 2024 Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, Wave 3 , 60% of organizations consider their digital infrastructure spending poorly aligned with expected business results. Key strategies for exploration: Experimentation: Conduct small-scale experiments.
Announced at its CamundaCon 2024 event in Berlin this week, the company’s pitch for AI is that the technology will hugely simplify the steep learning curve that comes with the setup phase of many business orchestration projects. This has led to big claims that run the risk of hype and disappointment down the line.

One of three finalists for the prestigious 2024 MIT CIO Leadership Award, Bell led the development of a proprietary data and analytics platform on AWS that enables the company to serve critical data to Medicare and other state and federal agencies as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Like many public health agencies across the US, the King County Medical Examiner’s Office tracks drug overdose deaths to target interventions for populations at risk and save lives. And then what’s really cool is adding on this more experimental aspect with the machine learning capability.”
According to Forrester’s 2024 predictions, 60% of skeptics will overcome their gen AI doubts by the end of the year and appreciate it for its uses in conversational assistants, and its ability to translate and synthesize content. Employees are even calling it a trusted colleague.
In 2024, companies confront significant disruption, requiring them to redefine labor productivity to prevent unrealized revenue, safeguard the software supply chain from attacks, and embed sustainability into operations to maintain competitiveness. Otherwise, the risks become too significant.
Others like Rigetti and IonQ went public early (the former risking delisting and the latter a huge SPAC). That’s going to use the various existing computing technology in and around the experimentation of this new capability. That’s a risk. QPUs, GPUs, CPUs, you name it. What can you say about the book you are writing?
By 2023, the focus shifted towards experimentation. Now, in 2024, generative AI is moving into the production phase for many companies. A major risk is data exposure — AI systems must be designed to align with company ethics and meet strict regulatory standards without compromising functionality.
While leaders have some reservations about the benefits of current AI, organizations are actively investing in gen AI deployment, significantly increasing budgets, expanding use cases, and transitioning projects from experimentation to production. 46% of survey respondents in 2024 showed a preference for open source models.

Nimit Mehta: I think that 2024 is going to be a buckle-down year, but, at the same time, we’ll see a rapid explosion of experimentation. Nimit Mehta : You are talking about the three big ones: cost, revenue, and risk. And, when you get to the top, it’s about risks and existential threats to the business. What is risk?
Generative AI continues to dominate IT projects for many organizations, with two thirds of business leaders telling a Harris Poll they’ve already deployed generative AI tools internally, and IDC predicting spend on gen AI will more than double in 2024. But the usual laundry list of priorities for IT hasn’t gone away.
The 2024 Board of Directors Survey from Gartner , for example, found that 80% of non-executive directors believe their current board practices and structures are inadequate to effectively oversee AI. The time for experimentation and seeing what it can do was in 2023 and early 2024. Now many are admitting they werent quite ready.
Regardless of the driver of transformation, your companys culture, leadership, and operating practices must continuously improve to meet the demands of a globally competitive, faster-paced, and technology-enabled world with increasing security and other operational risks.
CIOs now list innovation as the most important trait they need to bring to their role, according to a 2024 survey by professional services firm Deloitte — ahead of delivering top-line value and serving as change agents, two endeavors that require innovation to facilitate. Slow progress frustrates teams and discourages future experimentation.”
The impact of generative AIs, including ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs), will be a significant transformation driver heading into 2024. Mitigate risks by communicating an LLM governance model The generative AI landscape has more than 100 tools covering test, image, video, code, speech, and other categories.
We launched the proof-of-value pilot in November 2023 and rolled it out to all team members by February 2024. Another factor that increases gen AI risk and costs is the “massive ‘shadow IT’ in most organizations, as employees use personal accounts to use tools like ChatGPT with company data,” Baier says.
According to a recent IDC study (Future Enterprise Resiliency and Spending Survey, Wave 4, IDC, April 2024), companies are conducting an average of 37 GenAI proofs of concept (POCs), with only five advancing to production. Intellectual property risks Failing: GenAI can inadvertently use copyrighted material, leading to legal complications.
Focused on digitization and innovation and closely aligned with lines of business, some 40% of IT leaders surveyed in CIO.com’s State of the CIO Study 2024 characterize themselves as transformational, while a quarter (23%) consider themselves functional: still optimizing, modernizing, and securing existing technology infrastructure.

If 2023 was the year of experimentation with gen AI, 2024 was when companies zeroed in on use cases and started putting pilot projects into production. The early part of 2024 was disappointing when it comes to ROI, says Traci Gusher, data and analytics leader at EY Americas.
Intuit has also built an orchestration layer for agentic workflows, a set of security, risk, and fraud guardrails, a user experience framework with more than 140 components, widgets and patterns, and a model garden of leading commercial and open-source LLMs, plus Intuits own custom-trained domain-specific models.
Transformational CIOs recognize the importance of IT culture in delivering innovation, accelerating business impacts, and reducing operational and security risks. Measure the impact of software developers by how teams meet release commitments, promote design peer reviews, and demonstrate the impacts of experimentation.
This is particularly valuable in areas like market analysis, risk assessment, and resource allocation. Organizations should promote a culture of continuous improvement, experimentation, and empowerment. Doing so requires cultural change, contends Isaac Sacolick , President of StarCIO and author of Digital Trailblazer.
Introduction While 2023 was all about ChatGPT and large language modes (LLMs), in 2024 the rage has shifted to Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Building a RAG prototype is relatively easy, but making it production-ready is hard with organizations routinely getting stuck in experimentation mode. GraphDBs v 10.8
