Cloudera<\/a> indicates.<\/p>\nA survey into the use of agentic AI found that 91% of respondents from the two countries believe investing in AI agents is critical to maintain a competitive edge, and 89% believe their prior investments in generative AI have prepared them well to implement the technology.<\/p>\n
The leading use cases for AI agents across ANZ vary by industry, with the finance and insurance sector aiming to use the technology to improve risk assessment (59%), fraud detection (41%) and portfolio management (41%).<\/p>\n
In manufacturing, top applications include quality control (48%), inventory management (42%) and process automation (39%), while in healthcare the most common use cases include diagnostic assistance (52%), appointment scheduling (48%) and care coordination (43%).<\/p>\n
Finally, the telecom sector is aiming to leverage the technology to improve the customer experience (50%), infrastructure maintenance (50%), performance monitoring (50%), and security monitoring (50%).<\/p>\n
But the research also found that ANZ enterprises have lingering concerns about the use of agentic AI, with the main hold-ups being concerns over AI bias (69%), data privacy (54%), and lack of expertise (38%).<\/p>\n
Cloudera VP for Australia and New Zealand Keir Garrett said AI agents have the potential to transform the operational landscape of ANZ organisations.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir ability to think, act and adapt at speed doesn\u2019t just make processes better, they open up endless opportunities for innovation, smarter data-driven decisions and achieving faster results. But of course, we need guardrails in place,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
