For business leaders today, there’s no hotter topic than artificial intelligence (AI). Executives everywhere are asking themselves — and each other — how AI will transform the products they offer, the ways they work, and the threats they face. Our new analysis, AI at Work 2024: C-suite perspectives on artificial intelligence, paints a picture of the early days of a new era. We surveyed 125 C-suite leaders across industries, regions, and company sizes to get a sense of their priorities and concerns around AI. With AI’s potential impact often tied to innovation, efficiency, and security, the survey targeted the executive roles typically tasked with steering those efforts: CSOs/CISOs (security), CTOs (innovation), and CIOs (operational efficiency). These decision-makers expressed a wide range of views about AI — and the risks and opportunities that come with it. The report reveals that as many executives try to understand the technology and its risks.
