AI Takes Center Stage in Enterprise Technology Priorities
Nearly three-quarters of C-suite executives plan to increase their company’s tech investments this year, according to a BCG survey of C-suite executives, and 89% rank AI and generative AI among their top three priorities. More than half expect AI to deliver cost savings, primarily through productivity gains, improved customer service and IT efficiencies.
However, challenges to driving value with AI remain, including reskilling workers, prioritizing the right AI use cases and developing a strategy to implement responsible AI.
