High AI maturity fuels long-term project success and trust: Gartner survey
New Delhi [India], June 30 (ANI): A recent survey by Gartner, Inc. indicates that organisations with high AI maturity are significantly more successful at sustaining their AI initiatives, with 45 per cent reporting that their AI projects remain operational for three years or more. The survey, conducted in Q4 2024 with 432 respondents across the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, India, and Japan, assessed AI maturity using Gartner's AI Maturity Model. High-maturity organisations, scoring an average of 4.2-4.5 on a 5-level scale, demonstrated that selecting AI projects based on business value and technical feasibility, coupled with robust governance and engineering practices, is key to long-term success. This stands in stark contrast to low-maturity organisations, where only 20 per cent achieve similar longevity. 'Trust is one of the differentiators between success and failure for an AI or GenAI initiative,' stated Birgi Tamersoy, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner. The survey found that in 57 per cent of high-maturity organisations, business units trust and are ready to utilise new AI solutions, compared to a mere 14 per cent in low-maturity organisations. 'Building trust in AI and GenAI solutions fundamentally drives adoption, and since adoption is the first step in generating value, it significantly influences success,' Tamersoy added. Additionally, the report also reveals that, despite varying maturity levels, data availability and quality remain prominent hurdles in AI implementation. The survey revealed that 34 per cent of leaders from low-maturity organisations and 29 per cent from high-maturity organisations identified these as top challenges. For high-maturity organisations, security threats were also a significant barrier (48 per cent), while low-maturity organisations frequently struggled with identifying the right use cases (37 per cent). A notable finding is the strong trend towards dedicated AI leadership in high-maturity organisations, with 91 per cent already having appointed such roles. These AI leaders are primarily focused on fostering AI innovation (65 per cent), delivering AI infrastructure (56 per cent), building AI organisations and teams (50 per cent), and designing AI architecture (48 per cent). Furthermore, nearly 60 per cent of leaders in high-maturity organisations reported centralising their AI strategy, governance, data, and infrastructure capabilities to enhance consistency and efficiency.

India's big step after Operation Sindoor, will keep hawk's eye on every place, street, location of Pakistan and China with..., all movements...
(Representational image: AI generated) New Delhi: Just like we can see everything easily even in the dark by lighting a bright torch, Indian Army is going to get a 'sky torch' to do something similar. After Operation Sindoor, its need is also being felt for monitoring the enemy's territory. By the way, this time also we did surveillance from the sky but India's preparation is even bigger now. What is 'sky torch' mission? Keeping in mind the defense preparations of its armed forces, India is preparing to launch 52 dedicated satellites. This is part of the process of finalizing a comprehensive military space doctrine. The third phase of the Space Based Surveillance i.e. SBS programme was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Security headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in October last year. Rs 26,968 crore will be spent on this. Under this, ISRO is to launch 21 satellites and 31 satellites with the help of three private companies. The first satellite is to be launched by April next year. All the remaining 51 satellites will be deployed by 2029. How will China and Pakistan be on continuous target? This project is being run by the Defense Space Agency under the Integrated Defense Staff (IDS) of the Ministry of Defense. According to a TOI report, a source said that work is also going on to reduce the time frame to launch these satellites quickly in low-earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit. The three private companies that have been assigned the work have been asked to speed up the construction of satellites. The purpose of SBS-3 is to keep a constant watch on very large areas of the Indian Ocean region along with China and Pakistan. Right now it takes some time hence, it is very important to reduce the gap between two consecutive monitoring trips of the same place. Also, the picture will be of better resolution. If everything goes well, with the help of Indian satellites, we will be able to easily see even the enemy's streets and neighbourhoods. What is the role of Indian Air Force? According to a TOI report, India's space doctrine is being improved. Along with this, the Indian Air Force is also working rapidly on three high altitude platform system (HAPS) aircraft. This will be an unmanned aircraft or say a 'pseudo satellite'. It will be deployed at a height of 10 to 50 km from the ground (stratosphere) for a long time on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. China's military space programme has grown from just 36 satellites in 2010 to over 1,000 by 2024. Of these, 360 are dedicated to surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance missions.
