CIOs are looked to to manage AI adoption across the enterprise, but are they ready to meet the challenge?
Now here’s a thing – amid the tsunami of PR, marketing, hype and assorted information, how much do CIOs actually know about AI? The answer, somewhat to my relief, is – it’s complicated.
According to new global data from Salesforce covering the views of 150 CIOs of organizations with a thousand or more employees, a hefty 84% of respondents believe that AI will be as significant to businesses as the internet. But lessons appear to have been learned from earlier ‘silver bullets’ as 67% say that they are taking a more cautious approach to the emerging tech than they have/do to other technologies. Despite this 61% of CIOs say they are expected to know more about AI than they do. In reality, nine percent believe they know less than their peers at other companies.
