Incident 744: AI Work Assistants Require More Effort Than Expected, CIOs Say

Description: AI work assistants, such as Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Gemini for Google Workspace, are proving to be more labor-intensive than anticipated for enterprises. CIOs report that these AI tools struggle with outdated or inaccurate data, leading to incorrect outputs. Companies are finding they must invest heavily in data management to ensure reliability. This added effort has led to delays in deployment and frustration, as businesses work to maximize the potential of these expensive AI tools.

Variants

A "variant" is an incident that shares the same causative factors, produces similar harms, and involves the same intelligent systems as a known AI incident. Rather than index variants as entirely separate incidents, we list variations of incidents under the first similar incident submitted to the database. Unlike other submission types to the incident database, variants are not required to have reporting in evidence external to the Incident Database. Learn more from the research paper.
