IBM Study: CEOs Double Down on AI While Navigating Enterprise Hurdles

A new IBM global study reveals CEOs are heavily investing in AI despite implementation challenges. The survey of 2,000 CEOs found that AI investment growth rates are expected to more than double in the next two years, with 61% actively adopting AI agents. While 72% view their organizational data as key to unlocking generative AI value, 50% acknowledge issues with disconnected technology due to rapid investments. Only 25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI, with just 16% scaled enterprise-wide. Looking ahead, 85% of CEOs expect positive ROI from AI efficiency investments by 2027. The study also highlights talent challenges, with 54% hiring for AI roles that didn't exist a year ago, and 31% of the workforce requiring retraining over the next three years.
