TOKYO & LONDON: NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, today released the first results of its extensive original research that reveals “playtime is over” for GenAI. The results overwhelmingly found that leaders are turning their focus from experimentation to long-term use cases that transform business performance, workplace culture, compliance, safety and sustainability.
The study, “Global GenAI Report: How organizations are mastering their GenAI destiny in 2025,” found that almost all leaders surveyed already have invested in GenAI, and 83% have established “expert” or “robust” GenAI teams. Top use cases for GenAI include:
“The future is clear. Generative AI is more than just another tool – it’s a transformative force,” said Yutaka Sasaki, President and Chief Executive Officer, NTT DATA Group. “As we move beyond experimentation, a tension emerges: move too fast, and we risk unintended circumstances; move too slow and we fall behind. Getting GenAI right isn’t optional. That’s why we’re providing a blueprint to help our clients harness its potential for lasting success.”
Two-thirds of C-suite respondents said GenAI will be a “game changer” over the next two years and will improve:
Strategy and Transformation
Innovation and Technology
Nearly all respondents agree GenAI can spark creativity and improve R&D activities. Given the rapid adoption and advancement of GenAI technology, organizations will have to constantly re-evaluate and evolve their strategies and operating models. Key findings:
People and Culture
96% of respondents are considering how GenAI can streamline future employee workflows and support processes. However, 67% of respondents said their employees lack the necessary skills to work with GenAI. About half are planning employee education and training to increase GenAI adoption.
The top obstacles to adoption are:
Ethics, Safety and Sustainability
As GenAI infuses into daily life, balancing responsibility and innovation will be a moral imperative as well as a strategic necessity for leaders, organizations and society as a whole. Leaders largely recognize a mandate to strike this balance. Specifically:
Despite significant challenges, 68% of respondents globally said they feel “excited” and “amazed” about GenAI’s transformative potential.
“This is a powerful point in world history as GenAI is shaping up to be a huge force in our tech-enabled economy,” said Abhijit Dubey, Chief Executive Officer, NTT DATA, Inc. “In supporting and driving this next era, NTT DATA feels an acute responsibility to our clients, our people and society to ensure that everything we design, implement, deploy and manage is highly resilient, capable and responsible.”
