As nearly all tech leaders see AI value, scale is the next test
With 92% of tech leaders seeing tangible returns from AI, the industry is raising the bar for what success looks like. Cost reviews are becoming standard practice, CEOs are actively owning AI’s outcomes, and organizations are establishing clear safeguards around higher-risk use cases for autonomous agents.
The next challenge is scaling those gains across the enterprise while maintaining trust, security, and a workforce strategy that keeps pace with the technology. That means knowing where AI creates the greatest impact, managing the costs of increasingly sophisticated models and capabilities, and ensuring governance keeps pace with adoption.
