Cloud leaders are concerned about the challenges associated with the privacy and confidentiality of data and information when adopting GenAI, according to the report by tech major IBM.
In addition to the ability to unlock the power of generative AI being cited as one of the key benefits of a hybrid cloud approach, leaders agreed that a cloud environment is essential for managing sustainability initiatives at an enterprise level, but workforce deficiencies in cloud skills are impacting implementation.
“As GenAI gains momentum in India, organizations need to harness the power of a robust hybrid cloud approach to tackle challenges that are coming to the forefront. Investing in the right cloud technologies and tools will help businesses tackle increasing security and compliance concerns and deliver on their sustainability goals,” explained Viswanath Ramaswamy, Vice President–Technology, IBM India and South Asia.
“It is heartening to see that about 85% of respondents have said they are creating new job positions to fulfill the need for cloud skills in this Generative AI era,” he added.As the adoption of GenAI grows, the data processing power required for AI workloads can present new challenges to organizations that are looking to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
“In fact, 43 percent of decision-makers surveyed in India agreed that they use the cloud to help deploy, track, and manage sustainability goals internally, while 44 percent say they use the cloud to help deploy, track, and manage sustainability goals for third parties,” the report mentioned.
