Cisco research finds CEOs increasingly fear underinvesting in AI

Cisco research showed CEO confidence in AI continued to rise, but concerns over infrastructure, data quality and security threatened to slow enterprise adoption at scale. AI is exceeding most CEOs’ expectations and their optimism is growing. Cisco has announced that 65% now worry they are underinvesting in the technology — up from 53% last year — with more than two thirds (69%) of those surveyed now seeing AI adoption as mandatory for modern business.
