Survey Reveals Business Professionals Expect Use of Generative AI Will Drive Sharp Increase in Volume of Data and Insights Incorporated Into Business Operations

First-of-its-kind report offers new perspectives on how AI adoption will transform the way knowledge travels through enterprises.

BERLIN, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2023 / A new survey of insights experts and business stakeholders highlights the rapid adoption of AI technologies in reshaping how knowledge flows through enterprises. The report, "How AI will transform use of research, data and insights", published today by Market Logic Software, the global leader for insights management solutions, reveals that more than three-quarters of insights teams and two-thirds of stakeholders have already begun using AI for insights-related tasks.

The report forecasts a sharp rise in self-service interactions with insights data amongst marketers, product managers, and other business stakeholders as AI accelerates the trend towards democratization of research and data. In parallel, the survey reveals that insight teams are set to bank the productivity benefits of AI: cutting the time needed to complete a wide range of research and knowledge management tasks. Almost 40% of insights leaders believe these enhanced AI capabilities will prompt them to shrink the size of their teams.

"More than 80% of all respondents expect that AI will help them to ‘spot new trends faster' and ‘manage existing knowledge resources better.' These forward-thinking pioneers will be at the forefront of seizing competitive advantage through AI and implementing a new generation of insights-driven operations," commented Olaf Lenzmann, Market Logic Software's Chief Innovation and Technology Officer.

While the report illustrates a good deal of alignment between business stakeholder groups and insights teams on the potential for AI to scale insights-driven decision-making, it also uncovers some marked differences in attitudes to risks. Where business leaders focus more on data security and compliance requirements, insights teams place emphasis on the need to create guardrails for research data output quality and accuracy.

"Discussion of AI tends to focus on efficiency benefits, but this data sheds new light on what may be an even more important impact," says Mike Stevens, the report's lead researcher and author. "Nearly 75% of stakeholders believe AI will increase their organization's demand for research and insights. To meet this demand, insights teams will need to evolve their mix of skills, empower their stakeholders, and adopt a range of new technologies."

Based on a series of in-depth interviews and a comprehensive survey of enterprise organizations, the report was researched and produced by industry analyst, Insight Platforms. More than 200 professionals in the USA, UK, and Canada completed the survey. Half of these worked in market research and insights functions; the remaining half were in stakeholder teams such as strategy, marketing, or product management. This sample provides the first cross-functional gauge of professional perspectives on embracing AI for research and insights.
