  • Even moderate AI usage within an organization warrants a responsible AI strategy supported by technical stakeholders and foundational policies, but recent research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group found that certain teams generally have more comprehensive practices for responsible AI than others. Using those organizations as a model for responsible AI development can help other teams get their operations in order as they roll out more initiatives that expose the business to greater risk in the event of unethical or noncompliant AI use.

  • Rethinking Database Requirements in the Age of AI

    The growing use of generative AI (GenAI) is changing how businesses manage operations and make decisions. Databases are becoming the core infrastructure of AI-based projects, providing the foundation for use cases that require efficiency and accuracy. It’s now a necessity to use cutting-edge tools such as vector and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for processing AI data, and organizations are seeking databases designed to get the most out of their data. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed IT professionals to gain insights into these trends.

It’s now a necessity to use cutting-edge tools such as vector and RAG for processing AI data, and organizations are seeking databases designed to get the most out of their data. However, organizations innately proceed into this realm with different internal capabilities and maturity levels for their database strategies, which prompts variation in priorities and processes.

    To gain further insight into these trends, TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 358 IT professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada) involved with or responsible for the database technologies, processes, and programs used to manage their organization’s data.

  • Enterprises Tap GenAI Partners as Challenges Mount

    Enterprises (1,000+ employees) are turning to generative AI (GenAI) for wide-ranging strategic benefits, but they’re far more likely to encounter certain challenges than large midmarket (500 to 999 employees) in these endeavors, according to research by Informa TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group. A recent study found that although both large and smaller organizations engage with partners regularly to overcome GenAI project challenges, enterprise-size firms tend to need vendors’ support in specific crucial areas in their pursuit of large-scale transformation.
