More than half also lack staff. For those already using AI, data protection requirements and legal uncertainties take center stage.<\/p>\n<p>70 percent of respondents now train employees in AI usage. Yet two-thirds still rate their workforce\u2019s AI skills as low. Growing adoption has therefore not yet eliminated the need for training.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:64px;margin-bottom:20px;\">AI agents expand the challenge<\/h2>\n<p>11 percent of companies that use AI or are planning or discussing its deployment already use AI agents. These systems can execute multiple workflows within defined permissions, such as gathering and comparing quotes.<\/p>\n<p>The next evolution requires reliable data, integrated systems, and clearly defined access rights. Data preparation and system integration already rank as major cost drivers among respondents. Purchasing additional software licenses alone won\u2019t solve these challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The survey doesn\u2019t answer whether companies will convert investments into higher returns.
