Despite the hype surrounding generative AI, CIOs in large enterprises are proceeding cautiously when it comes to implementation. While the technology has the potential to improve efficiency and productivity, there are associated costs and uncertainties. A survey found that only 4% of large company CIOs had launched significant generative AI projects, with most still in the evaluation or proof of concept phase. CIOs are under pressure to deliver transformative experiences, but they also need to establish structure and organization for successful implementation. Some CIOs have started with smaller proof of concept initiatives and are exploring various use cases. The challenge lies in measuring the impact and productivity of generative AI, as it is still early days for this transformative technology.

The draft text of the global stocktake at COP28 has received mixed reactions. While some see it as a clear signal to transition away from fossil fuels, climate justice advocates criticize the weak language on means of implementation and the lack of financial support from developed countries. The text emphasizes unproven technological fixes and fails to address the influence of lobbyists. Non-profit analysts consider it an improvement but still not as strong as hoped. The draft also lacks a commitment to phase out or phase down fossil fuels. The reaction from small island states and developing countries remains uncertain.

A new study led by researchers at Duke University reveals the chaotic reality of AI rollouts in healthcare systems and hospitals. The study identifies an eight-point framework that health systems can follow as they try to roll out new AI tools. The rise of patient messages is linked to high rates of physician burnout, and an effective AI chat tool could reduce this burden, improve patient adherence and compliance with medical guidance, and improve patient health outcomes overall. However, there are many other steps to take before a chatbot could reach its lofty goals, according to the revelations from the Duke-led preprint study.

A recent analysis of more than 500 employees found that actual strategic alignment among employees, managers, and executives was two to three times lower than perceived alignment. To bridge this gap and foster true strategic alignment, leaders must focus their strategies on driving customer value; weave those strategies into everyone’s daily work; and develop strategic priorities through collaborative dialogue with senior executives, middle managers, and frontline employees.

A new report by the Health AI Partnership reveals a gap between the marketing of AI in healthcare and the reality of its implementation. The report is based on interviews with physicians and data scientists at a dozen healthcare organizations, including Mayo Clinic and Kaiser Permanente. The report highlights the need for a more systematic approach to AI implementation, especially amid the rush to harness the power of large language models. The report also points to the need for a deeper exploration of whether accurate detection of an illness happened in a timely way and spurred the right kind of follow-up care to ultimately change a patient’s trajectory.
