In fact, IDC predicts that by 2026, tech providers will allocate half of R&D, staffing, and CAPEX investments to AI/automation, resulting in CIOs struggling with aligning vendor selection and IT operations priorities with new use cases.
As AI evolves from handling specific tasks to broader applications, the need for data-centric infrastructures, skill transformations, and trust is further emphasised, the report mentioned.
“The rise of GenAI promises new opportunities for companies to leverage AI. AI is viewed not just as a tool but a game-changer, poised to revolutionise business productivity and open new revenue avenues,” said Sandra Ng, GVP & General Manager for IDC Asia/Pacific Japan research. IDC predicts that spending on digital technology by organisations will grow at 4X the economy in 2024.
Additionally, by 2027, 80% of CEOs will assert that their C-suite technology leader’s primary function should be to invest in digital-first initiatives. IDC sees a three-phased evolution of AI adoption in the region from 2023-2028, from productivity enhancements in 2023, progressing to customer engagement by 2024 and introducing new business models by 2025.
