ChatGPT in command of the office? Almost half of Spanish bosses prefer that artificial intelligence make decisions for them, according to a global study carried out by the Oracle technology company. Up to 45% of managers see it better in an overwhelming environment of managing thousands of pieces of data that lead to a lack of understanding, mistrust in their abilities and indecision.
As misinterpreting the situation can make the difference between whether the business is going well or not, for some the solution is that the responsibility be transferred to the machines. “Business leaders want to rely on data, and they know it is critical to the success of their organizations. But they don’t believe they have the tools to do so, which is eroding their confidence and ability to make timely decisions,” it said. aim.
Companies, and their managers, have more and more inputs to make decisions. Maybe too many. More sources of information do not necessarily imply more security and trust. Four out of ten Spaniards have doubts about the data or sources they can trust. This has led to 65% having already given up making decisions.
This also translates into spikes in anxiety, missed opportunities, and unnecessary spending on collections. 84% of managers mention stress when making decisions: 70% say that the huge volume of data and their lack of confidence in it impedes decision-making, while almost 90% say that the increasing number of sources hinders the success of the organization. More data, more costs to collect it, more chances to make mistakes…
According to Oracle, it is causing the data to lose weight in decisions, although it is recognized that more reliable and successful decisions are made with them. “Business leaders who make critical decisions about the management of their companies and do not take this data into account are running a great risk,” says Albert Triola, general director of Oracle Spain.
Thus, 81% surveyed affirm that often a decision is made first and they only look for the data to justify it later; 71% point out that the opinion of the highest paid counts more than the data; and 24% believe that the decisions end up being irrational. At this point, 40% of respondents and 45% of bosses would prefer that all decisions come from artificial intelligence.
More than 14,000 employees and managers from 17 countries, including Spain, participated in the study.
