Deep dives
Navigating the Shift to AI Abundance
Organizations are transitioning from an era of AI scarcity to one of AI abundance, where access to AI technologies is greatly increasing. By 2025, it is expected that the majority of AI in organizations will not come solely from internal teams but from various external sources, namely BYO AI and embedded AI. Internal teams are currently responsible for only about 35% of AI outputs, while BYO AI contributes around 22%, and embedded AI from software already in use will account for 43%. As a result, companies need to strategically integrate and manage AI from these diverse sources to leverage its potential effectively.
