Many companies are stepping up their investment in AI despite being uncertain about the business impact or implementation, according to a March 13 report by Orgvue, an organizational design and planning software platform.

For instance, 82% of organizations have invested in AI, according to an Orgvue survey, and 33% will increase their investment by more than 50% in the coming year. However, half aren’t sure about the best way to use it in the workplace.

“There’s a dichotomy between the need for business leaders to prepare for AI entering the workforce, their desire for change, and the organization’s ability to make this transformation a reality,” he said. “This gap in thinking stems from a lack of clarity on exactly how AI will impact the business and the workforce.”

In an international survey of 1,000 C-suite and senior decision-makers at medium and large organizations, 61% said they expect AI to replace people in their company, and 69% said they think AI will be the main driver of workforce transformation in the next three years.
