IT leaders see the potential benefits of AI and are investing in it, but they are also concerned about the threat it poses to their business. Creative and information-centered industries like music and news are already seeing evidence of AI threatening their business models.
These industries are fighting back by taking AI companies like Udio and Sunio to court for alleged copyright infringement. The New York Times, The Intercept, Raw Story, and Alternet are among publishers suing OpenAI for alleged copyright infringement. The decisions hold major implications for the future of creative industries and generative AI companies alike.

IT leaders rank the likelihood of AI disrupting their business at about 3.5 out of 5. This is a close second only to a talent shortage causing disruption.
AI poses a threat, yet organizations are investing in it to pursue its benefits.

Organizations wish to maintain their own AI sovereignty as they leverage powerful foundation models.
