The state of AI for regulated industries: Strategies for CTOs looking to scale

AI is no longer just a buzzword - it’s a game-changer for organisations across industries. But how do you scale AI effectively, especially in highly regulated sectors?
In our latest AI Maturity Report, ‘CTO Strategies for Scaling AI’, we offer a practical approach to help CTOs unlock AI’s full potential and drive innovation within their organisations.
Why AI matters for CTOs
Simply put, CTOs are under pressure to show results with AI. This pressure comes from the rest of the board, the technical teams they manage, and from end customers. The real challenge for CTOs is to identify where to place those strategic bets, and how to manage investment on a technology stack that is evolving at a never-before-seen pace. Scaling AI is complex because it sometimes feels like building a sandcastle in the middle of an earthquake.
Despite changes, some principles remain constant: a clear data path, good governance, reducing technical debt, and investing in data will hold true regardless of future AI developments. In this report, we explore not just the promise of AI, but the actions required for CTOs to harness its potential. With AI evolving at breakneck speed, those who start today will position themselves for outsized success tomorrow.
