According to research, 88% of organizations now use AI, yet only 5-6% generate measurable value at scale. Despite this, the era of experimentation is over, and Boards expect Chief Information Officers to deliver AI value and demonstrate business impact.
In CXOTalk episode 909, we explore the critical gap between AI investment and AI results:
Why organizations remain stuck in pilot mode
The hidden cost of shadow AI initiatives that bypass IT
What separates the small number of CIOs delivering real returns from the majority still searching for ROI
The rise of agentic AI and whether organizations are prepared for autonomous systems
This is the year AI accountability gets real. Join this live conversation and learn how CIOs can close the gap between AI promise and AI value.
