KPMG Releases Global Report on Artificial Intelligence

KPMG recently released its 2025 global study: Trust, Attitudes and Use of Artificial Intelligence.  AI is poised to have a transformative impact across all sectors of the global economy, and the pace of technology is moving far more quickly than the ability of most people to grasp what AI is available, much less how to apply it.  The study observes that the greatest barrier to widespread AI adoption may be the very legitimate concern that individuals have about the risks, safety, and potential societal impact of the uses of AI.  KPMG’s study explores these considerations, and notes that many do not have access to AI education and training.  The study results incorporate responses from 48,000 respondents across 47 countries and also includes specific findings from its U.S. respondents.  Broadly speaking, among several other findings, the study reveals that its U.S. respondents are slow to trust AI, believe that AI regulation is required and do not think that current safeguards are sufficient.  As AI continues to rapidly progress, registered fund directors will benefit from staying tuned to industry, regulatory and societal developments relating to artificial intelligence, and its potential applications in the fund industry.
