Through this survey, we found that only 48% of organizations are confident that they can use AI safely. Despite the widespread use of publicly available generative AI tools, with 65% of organizations using ChatGPT and 40% using Google Gemini, less than half of companies have guidelines in place for AI usage. Masu. 71% of organizations considering implementing AI were concerned about data privacy and security, and 61% were concerned about internal data quality and classification. Furthermore, 45% of organizations that have introduced AI have experienced an “unintentional data breach,” making it clear that the biggest risk to business operations has become reality. Data privacy and security are among the top concerns for pre-AI organizations, but strategic measures can be taken to reduce risk, such as increasing data protection and management and educating employees on safe usage. must be taken.

Only 29% of organizations have introduced DX (digital transformation and automation) as a key measure of their IM strategy, but the amount of data they handle is increasing, with 64% of organizations They manage at least 1 petabyte (equivalent to approximately 1,024 terabytes, or approximately 1,048,576 gigabytes) of data, with 41% managing at least 500 petabytes of data.
The study found that 88% of organizations have an IM strategy in place, but half of them, 44%, lack basic measures such as archiving, security policies, and lifecycle management solutions. . 52% of organizations face challenges related to the quantity and quality of internal data when implementing AI. The amount of data companies handle is rapidly increasing, and this trend is expected to accelerate as more organizations leverage AI technology.
In 2024, when AI investment accelerates, organizations with mature IM strategies will realize 1.5 times more benefits from AI adoption.

Our findings show that organizations with mature IM strategies are 1.5 times more likely to realize the impact and benefits of AI
implementation than those with less mature strategies. However, few organizations recognize the value of information management in AI success. In 2024, organizations are significantly increasing their investments in AI, with 83% planning to increase their AI investments and 79% investing in licensed AI such as Copilot for Microsoft 365. Additionally, 60% of organizations plan to allocate at least a quarter of their technology budget to AI over the next five years. However, fewer than half (46%) of organizations have in-house AI-specific training, meaning employees are still not equipped to use cutting-edge technology safely and efficiently. “As organizations increase their investments in AI, a comprehensive and integrated accountability program for both data privacy management and AI governance becomes even more important,” emphasized Bojana Bellamy, Director of CIPL. There are concerns that AI will exacerbate the challenges
organizations already face if they do not establish or adapt their IM strategies.
In light of this, our survey results show that 77% of organizations recognize the need to implement additional strategies to keep up in the AI era, which we consider a promising step in the right direction. You can.
