Hey, C-Suite: Time To Get Your Hands Dirty With AI

IBM’s CEO survey shows near-term confidence in AI-led growth has cooled sharply.

Only 10% of CEOs expect agentic AI to drive growth within two years, though 74% still see gains by 2030.

The report says companies that set a clear AI vision and use tailored models are more likely to improve productivity, profits, and cycle times.

IBM urges stronger executive ownership, including roles like a chief AI officer, to turn AI plans into business results.
