DNHN - In Vietnam, 84% of respondents to a survey believe they have no more than one year to implement an AI strategy before adverse effects on business operations.

Cisco has recently disclosed that, according to the AI Readiness Index, only 27% of Vietnamese businesses and organizations are entirely prepared to deploy and implement artificial intelligence. Nearly three-quarters of the remaining Vietnamese businesses are not yet fully prepared to implement this new technology.
Furthermore, a significant majority of survey respondents (84% in Vietnam) hold the belief that the earliest they can implement an AI strategy without adversely affecting business operations is within one year.
The study additionally demonstrates that while the necessity to implement AI has developed gradually over the course of decades, the substantial focus on the challenges, changes, and novel opportunities that this technology presents in the last year has been propelled by the progress made in generative AI and the widespread adoption of this technology.
40% of organizations, according to a Cisco report, believe their infrastructure is more scalable. In response to new artificial intelligence (AI) challenges, sixty percent of survey respondents reported that their current information technology (IT) infrastructure has limited or no scalability.
Despite being the "backbone" and critical component of AI operations, data readiness is the lowest in this domain. According to 68% of respondents, the organization's data and storage departments are fragmented. Assembling and feeding AI application data from such a variety of sources can be a complex process that can hinder the functionality of the application.
Ultimately, the digital divide of the twenty-first century is reflected in the demand for AI skills; of the Vietnamese companies surveyed, 96% intend to invest in employee skill development, while 8% are concerned about the dearth of talent for skills training.
In addition to highlighting organizations' readiness to deploy and adopt AI, the Cisco AI Readiness Index report, which was just published, identifies critical vulnerabilities in business pillars and foundations. can result in imminent dangers of a severe nature.
In terms of developing an AI strategy, 99 percent of organizations worldwide have a well-defined plan to implement AI or are in the process of doing so. Laggards constituted a mere 2% of the organizations categorized as Pacesetters or Chasers (moderately prepared), whereas more than eight in ten (87%) were categorized as such.
This demonstrates that IT managers and senior executives are already concerned with AI adoption. Over the past half-year, the urgency to implement AI technology in an organization has increased, according to 99 percent of respondents; cybersecurity and IT infrastructure are the areas deemed most critical for AI deployment.
As organizations hastened to implement AI solutions, Ms. Liz Centoni, Vice President and Managing Director of Applications and Strategy at Cisco, emphasized the following: "To ensure that their infrastructure's foundation can support AI workloads, organizations should be aware of which investment areas to prioritize." Additionally, organizations must comprehend the AI usage landscape to guarantee a return on investment (ROI), security, and most importantly, responsible application.
