Companies are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to automate and optimize business functions. But according to recent research, the IT professionals who will be asked to implement the technology have decidedly mixed feelings about it, ranging from optimism to outright dread (and sometimes both at the same time). On the positive side, many IT pros see AI as a beneficial technology that can help advance their careers. Fully 74% of survey respondents agreed with the statement, "AI will automate tasks and enable more time to focus on strategic IT initiatives." The prompt, "AI will create major data privacy issues" drew agreement from 55% of respondents.
