¨ INSIGHTS FROM 200 SENIOR IT LEADERS ON GENAI, TECH STACK, & MORE
INSIDE (SPONSOR) [4]

The findings of this survey [4] of 200 senior analytics and IT
leaders reveal a significant gap between CIOs' aspirations and
execution capabilities.

While 70% have adopted GenAI, only 20% are using the tech in
productionized use cases, and many face soaring costs that overshadow
benefits, stressing the need for modernized analytics infrastructure
and better cost management.

to companies that OpenAI works closely with so they can build their
own products and features. Engineers inside Microsoft are preparing to
host the model on Azure as early as November. It is unclear if OpenAI

that are usable is about four percentage points higher than comparable facilities in Taiwan. The yield is critical as it determines whether
companies will be able to cover the enormous costs of a chip plant.
The accomplishment is a sign of progress for US efforts to revitalize
local semiconductor manufacturing.

HOW INTEL GOT LEFT BEHIND IN THE A.I. CHIP BOOM (10 MINUTE READ) [13]


The story of how Intel got left behind in AI is representative of the
broader challenges the company now faces. The company missed
opportunities, made wayward decisions, and executed poorly. The trail
of missteps was a byproduct of a corporate culture born of decades of
success and high profits that was hard-changing and focused on its
franchise in personal computers and later in data centers. Its
corporate ethos worked against it as the company tried and failed
repeatedly to become a leader in chips for artificial intelligence.
