46% OF ORGANISATIONS ARE ACCELERATING THEIR ADOPTION OF AI

Airmic survey indicated an overall shift from a ‘controls-based approach’ to a more proactive outlook on AI adoption.

Forty-six percent of respondents in this week’s Airmic Big Question survey said their organisations are accelerating their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, while a further 39% said their organisation’s adoption of AI remained constant. This comes amid mixed sentiments as Nvidia’s AI chip sales have been booming further, while an Allianz report on technology trends observed that the excitement around AI has been abating.

Julia Graham, CEO of Airmic, said: “The clear message from Airmic members this week is that AI solutions are the way to go for organisations to meet today’s economic challenges, whether in improving productivity or innovating for growth. There may have been some amount of hype accompanying the emergence of generative AI in the past few years, but the promise of AI has become more apparent as AI use reaches a crucial threshold of scalability.”

While the US stock market suffered its largest drop in the week China’s DeepSeek AI app emerged in January – in particular the unprecedented decline in stock price of Nvidia, the US chip producer – Nvidia’s revenues leapt by almost 80% last week on booming AI chip sales.

Hoe-Yeong Loke, Head of Research at Airmic, said: “There is nothing new about one sector dominating the US stock market as AI has been of late. But for some analysts, the danger of today’s stock market bubble is that there is a growing concentration in a historically small number of stocks centred on Silicon Valley. The volatility in US stocks since the introduction of China’s DeepSeek AI app attests in part to that – risk professionals and their organisations need to be attuned to that while also taking a longer term view of tech developments.”

Respondents in this week’s Airmic Big Question survey generally reported an overall shift in their organisations from a ‘controls-based approach’ to AI to a more proactive outlook that seeks to explore the opportunities brought on by AI solutions.

Leigh-Anne Slade, Head of Media, Communications and Interest Groups, said: “Airmic members are recognising that the risks of not adopting AI are superseding the costs of changing to new processes. Nevertheless, they are also cognisant that AI needs to be the right solution for their business challenges, rather than just being a quick fix or just because AI solutions are more readily available today.”
