Key points

Eighty-seven percent of chief information officers (CIOs) at companies in Korea said IT departments' management capacity cannot keep up with the pace at which employees develop AI agents. Tech M reported that 79% also said they cannot continuously measure the operational results and business results of AI agents. Tech M reported that the survey was included in materials Dataiku released on the 18th.

Sisa Journal-e also covered the survey results. The outlet reported that as business units increasingly build and use AI agents themselves, the number of agents outside the IT organization's control is also growing. It also wrote that 8 in 10 CIOs at large companies in Korea cannot continuously confirm whether their company's AI agents actually deliver business results.

The description of the respondents differs by outlet. Tech M wrote 'CIOs at companies in Korea,' while Sisa Journal-e wrote 'CIOs at large companies in Korea.'
