Summary
The Quantmetry-Capgemini barometer shows that generative AI became a major priority for French Data departments in 2024. According to the study, 80% of respondents believe data is growing in importance with the rise of generative AI, and 25% had already launched a generative AI experiment by summer 2023, mainly around RAG. Four areas of work are identified: experimentation, user training, risk assessment and adaptation of the operating model. The study also highlights that Data departments struggle to move beyond a tactical role to achieve strategic impact across the company, notably through Data Mesh, deployed by nearly 80% of respondents but often in a poorly coordinated way, according to Jonathan Cassaigne, Head of Expertise at Quantmetry.
