Download: Insights for success in AI-driven organizations

If you are actively pursuing new AI use cases in your organization, you are part of a cohort of leaders across all industries.

In fact, 82% of C-suite leaders in a recent MIT Technology Review Insights survey said that “scaling AI or generative AI use cases to create business value is a top priority for our organization.” And 80% of chief data officers believe generative AI will transform their business environment, according to work from Thomas H. Davenport, a visiting scholar at the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy.

At MIT Sloan, our faculty members and researchers are exploring AI from every angle that matters to leaders — data integration, workforce development, change management, organizational culture, entrepreneurial opportunity, and ethical and regulatory implications, among others. Their work is yielding crucial insights organizations will need as AI — and especially generative AI — reshapes our industries and our work.
