A couple of weeks ago we asked readers of this blog to answer a couple of questions on their organisation’s use of (generative) artificial intelligence, and we promised to circle back with the results. So, drum roll, the results are now in.
1. In our first question, we wanted to know whether your organisation allows its employees to use generative AI, such as ChatGPT, Claude or DALL-E.
