Research approach
Infosys commissioned a survey of 1,000 executives at companies in Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore during August and September 2023 to gauge their attitudes toward and adoption of generative AI.
The survey looked at 12 sectors: automotive; consumer packaged goods; energy, mining, or utilities; financial services; healthcare; high tech; insurance; life sciences; logistics or supply chain; manufacturing; retail or hospitality; and telecommunications.
We asked respondents about the state of generative AI in their organizations, including questions about spending plans, how generative AI is rolled out and managed across the organization, where the leadership comes from in the business, and how confident the respondents are about the readiness of their company to adopt and use generative AI.
We also asked respondents about where they expect generative AI to have the most impact in their businesses, as well as questions about their company’s location and size.
To determine the spending figures, we:
Asked each respondent the range of spending on generative AI.
Used the midpoint (or the lower bound in the case of an infinite range) as an estimate for the amount spent for each respondent.
Grouped respondents into our 12 industries and created totals for each industry.
Adjusted these industry spending totals on the basis of the difference in industry representation in our sample, compared to the distribution of companies, using data from Refinitiv.
Calculated industry totals for both the past 12 months and the next 12 months.
