According to a survey by Dataiku, 96% of CEOs believe employees are already using generative AI without authorization, but the real challenge is not restricting usage but governing and integrating it effectively. Meanwhile, an audit at a manufacturer revealed that the actual number of AI agents was 10 times higher than the CIO's estimate.
In AI-accelerated science, Insilico Medicine reduced the timeline from target discovery to drug candidate to just 9 months, compared to the industry standard of nearly four and a half years. Furthermore, physical constraints like compute and power are becoming the hard ceiling gating the entire AI buildout.
