Businesses overlook global connectivity amidst rising AI investments

In Short:
– Global expansion is crucial, but AI investments often neglect essential network connectivity.
– Most leaders seek growth in new markets, yet secure infrastructure support is widely overlooked.

Expanding globally is increasingly vital for businesses. However, growing investments in AI are leading leaders to overlook seamless connectivity across borders. Tim Sullivan from Coevolve highlighted the importance of global connectivity in a recent discussion. Operating in 82 countries, Coevolve offers insight into the current challenges leaders face.

New complexities in security and compliance are increasing. Although significant investment is directed towards AI, the network infrastructure to support it is being neglected. Research reveals 45% of investment targets AI, yet only about 8% is allocated for secure network architecture. There is a notable discrepancy regarding how global connectivity is achieved across different regions.
