KPMG AI Quarterly Pulse Survey
Overview
The KPMG Quarterly Pulse Survey – Technology captures insights from U.S.-based C-suite and senior business leaders at technology organizations with annual revenues of $1 billion or more. Each quarter, we expand the lens to examine how AI investment, AI agent deployment, and execution strategies are evolving across the industry. This page aggregates the quarterly findings specific to the technology sector.
To compare these results against broader, cross-industry trends, visit the full Pulse Survey findings here.
For technology companies, AI scale is no longer just about deployment — it’s about coordination, control, and value.
While investment and agent adoption remain steady across the broader market, the technology sector is moving into a more advanced phase of execution. Cost visibility, cross-functional alignment, and executive accountability are becoming the true markers of scale. The leaders separating themselves are operationalizing AI as an enterprise-wide capability: using agents to align KPIs across functions, actively monitoring costs, and prioritizing outcomes over activity.
As prior technology cycles inform a more disciplined approach, the critical question is no longer whether companies can deploy AI — it is whether they can run it with discipline at enterprise scale.
