00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.600
This year's AI Radar survey
is continuing to surprise us.

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:05.760
What we are finding out is

3
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:07.920
that CEOs are going to
be playing even higher

4
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:09.240
role in deploying AI.

5
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:12.840
Most of them, the CEOs, are saying

6
00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:16.120
that they will double their
investment on AI this year.

7
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.600
More surprising part is
that 94% of them are saying

8
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.480
that even if AI doesn't have
quick return on investment this

9
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:26.400
year, they will continue to invest in it.

10
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:30.120
And more than 70% of them
are primary decision makers

11
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.840
around AI decisions in
their organizations.

12
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.960
Now, when we unpack what is
really going on, we find out

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.840
that the pilots are over,
the quick wins are captured.

14
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.480
We are really now entering
the phase of, it takes 12

15
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:44.760
to 18 months of persistent motion

16
00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.520
to get the processes ready,
to get the data ready,

17
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.520
and to have CEO

18
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.960
or executive-level interventions
to unlock the value

19
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.560
and the benefits from
deploying the latest tech.

20
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.360
So, as we look forward, the CEOs

21
00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:58.800
that are really leaning in are the

22
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:00.040
ones that are making difference.

23
00:01:00.040 --> 00:01:02.160
And one other interesting
anecdote that

24
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:05.160
came from the survey is
that there's a group of CEOs

25
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:07.240
that we are now naming CEO trailblazers,

26
00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:10.000
that not only are they staying
close to the deployments

27
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.320
and driving the change,

28
00:01:11.320 --> 00:01:13.080
they spend more than eight hours a week.

29
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:16.320
So that's a full day a week
where they upskill themselves.

30
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.000
That can be in the form of
running the test themselves.

31
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.720
It can be in the forms of
sitting down with engineers

32
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:22.800
and being part of the builds.

33
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:25.360
It could be also just
engaging with their teams on

34
00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:27.360
what are the latest features in the AI

35
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:28.680
tools that they're deploying.

36
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.680
So the message being: lean in
and drive or be left behind.
