CAMPBELL, Calif., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a new global study conducted by S&P Global Market Intelligence and commissioned by WEKA, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) by enterprises and research organizations seeking to create new value propositions is accelerating, but data infrastructure and AI sustainability challenges present barriers to implementing it successfully at scale. These challenges have been exacerbated by the rapid onset of generative AI that has defined the evolution of the AI market in 2023.

Key Points: 
  • These challenges have been exacerbated by the rapid onset of generative AI that has defined the evolution of the AI market in 2023.
  • These findings were published today as part of S&P Global's new 2023 Global Trends in AI report.
  • "The meteoric rise of data and performance-intensive workloads like generative AI is forcing a complete rethink of how data is stored, managed and processed.
  • The most frequently cited technological inhibitor to AI/ML deployments is data management (32%), outweighing challenges for security (26%) and compute performance (20%), evidence that many organizations' current data architectures are unfit to support the AI revolution.
