New Delhi, Oct 6 (NationPress) Violations of Artificial Intelligence (AI) regulations are projected to lead to a 30 percent rise in legal disputes among technology firms by 2028, according to a report released on Monday.

More than 70 percent of IT executives reported that ensuring regulatory compliance ranks among their top three challenges when deploying GenAI productivity assistants across their organizations.

Conversely, only 23 percent expressed high confidence in their organization's capacity to manage security and governance aspects during the implementation of GenAI tools in enterprise applications, as noted in a report by Gartner, a leading business and technology insights firm.

“Global regulations surrounding AI differ significantly, reflecting each nation’s view on balancing AI leadership, innovation, and agility with risk management priorities,” stated Lydia Clougherty Jones, Senior Director Analyst at Gartner.

“This results in inconsistent and often confusing compliance requirements, making it difficult to align AI investments with measurable and reproducible enterprise value, which can potentially expose companies to additional liabilities,” Jones further elaborated.

Simultaneously, the influence of the geopolitical landscape is increasingly significant, yet the response capability is lacking.

As much as 57 percent of non-U.S. IT leaders noted that the geopolitical climate has at least a moderate effect on their GenAI strategies and deployments, with 19 percent acknowledging it has a substantial impact.

However, nearly 60 percent of these respondents indicated they were either unable or unwilling to embrace non-U.S. GenAI tool alternatives, as highlighted in the report.

The findings were derived from insights provided by 360 IT leaders involved in the deployment of generative AI tools.

In another survey, Gartner discovered that 40 percent of 489 respondents expressed a “positive” sentiment towards AI sovereignty—defined as the capacity of nation-states to oversee the development, deployment, and governance of AI technologies within their borders—while 36 percent felt their organizations' stance was “neutral”.

While 66 percent indicated they are proactive and engaged regarding sovereign AI strategies, 52 percent reported that their organizations are making strategic or operational adjustments directly in response to sovereign AI considerations.
