Research from Orgvue, the organizational design and planning software platform, shows that businesses continue to ramp up investment in AI despite being unclear on its business impact or how to implement it. 82% of organizations have already invested, with another 33% saying they will increase this by more than 50% in the coming year.

Based on an international survey of 1,000 C-suite and senior decision makers at medium and large organizations, the report, Human-first, machine enhanced: the role of AI in workforce transformation, highlights contradictions in the business community concerning technology investment and AI's impact on the workforce.

On the one hand, 61% of respondents said they expect AI to replace people in their organization, with 69% saying they think AI will be the main driver of workforce transformation over the next three years. On the other hand, 48% are unsure how they will manage developments in AI to optimize use of the technology.
