AI Readiness Report

AI Readiness: 

How are organisations preparing for new requirements?

About this Report:

Decision-makers at enterprise organisations in the UK & Ireland need to plan for upcoming AI regulation, even if it’s unclear at this stage what any regulation might look like. They will also be indirectly affected by the EU’s AI Act due to come into force soon.

We carried out research to understand how aware they were of what was coming, how confident they were in being able to comply and what some of the barriers are that they’re facing. We also asked who they were relying on to support them on this journey which revealed a high level of trust being placed in their AI software vendor. The report also sets out a four-step pathway to AI readiness.

More than 200 key decision-makers across the UK & Ireland in data, analytics and cloud services, each from companies each with more than 3,000 employees, took part in the research.
