However, their enthusiasm was tempered in the longer term with concerns around the need to upskill their workforce, deal with security, as well as a considerable 52% saying they had concerns about legal liabilities and reputational risk. However, with the majority of Southern Africa’s CEOs , saying GenAI was a top investment priority, Mienie says the country’s tech leaders must proceed with caution.When it comes to software development, AI has already made itself incredibly useful.
