Cost of AI could rise tenfold – warns Gartner
Gartner issued a stern warning this week to organizations across all sectors that the cost of introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to the workplace could easily balloon by 500 -1,000 percent. Speaking at Gartner's flagship Symposium event in Australia, VP analyst Mary Mesaglio said: “Factors contributing to these inflated costs include vendor price increases and neglecting the expense of utilizing cloud-based resources.”
‘Shadow AI’ is putting companies at risk
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools by staff ahead of IT departments involvement has resulted in the growing problem of ‘shadow AI’. “Similar to the early days of cloud adoption, workers are using AI tools before IT departments formally buy them. The result is “shadow AI,” employee usage of AI tools through personal accounts that are not sanctioned by - or even known to - the company,” says Silicon Valley-based data protection company Cyberhaven’s report: How Employees are Leading the Charge in AI Adoption and Putting Company Data at Risk.
