The vast majority of managers see generative artificial intelligence as an important driver of future sales growth, according to a study published on Tuesday by consulting firm Accenture. Financial service providers in particular see AI as a major opportunity.
However, despite their open-mindedness, more than half of companies are not yet ready to utilise the technology, according to the study.
Although 85% of employees are already using AI for their work, they often lack formal training or an in-depth examination of the ethical implications of the technology. Around 48% of respondents were also concerned that they could lose their job because of AI.
With its innovative strength and large talent pool, Switzerland is fundamentally very well positioned to play a leading role in generative AI, the report continues.
