CEO decision-making in the age of AI: Act with intention
Thought Leadership Team
Oxford Economics
The IBM Institute for Business Value, in cooperation with Oxford Economics, interviewed 3,000 CEOs from 30+ countries and 24 industries as part of the 28th edition of the IBM C-suite Study series. These conversations focused on executives’ perspectives on leadership and business; their changing roles and responsibilities; and CEO decision-making today, including key challenges and opportunities, their use of technology, data, and metrics, and their visions for the future.

- CEOs feel their organizations are ready for generative AI. Other executives are not as confident.
- 2 out of 3 CEOs are acting without a clear view of how to help their workforce with the disruption and inevitable transitions AI will bring.
- A lack of clarity is impeding decision-making and investments.
