Summary
Great Expectations: ROI in the Age of AI
NTT DATA’s global GenAI research report revealed a deep enthusiasm for GenAI’s potential to deliver business value: 98% of C-suite respondents agree that GenAI will have a material impact on improving productivity levels. But nearly as many respondents (87%) accept that ROI will be unclear for the foreseeable future. How can organizations bridge the gap between expectations and reality, particularly in an environment of rapid and intense technology innovation? This panel will explore new ways to think about, plan for, and track ROI as organizations look beyond experimental POCs to invest in and scale enterprise AI solutions. We’ll also share NTT’s R&D organizations’ and NTT DATA’s Innovation Center’s views on near- and long-term AI innovation in development. What are the most promising advancements, what will their impact be and how can organizations prepare to harness their value? Includes 10-minute Q&A.
