CIOs Are Bullish On AI Agents. IT Employees? Not So Much.
CIO, Tuesday, February 4th, 2025
IT's opinion on the promise of agentic AI is divided, with leaders seeing agents as core to business operations in the near future and IT pros - who will deploy them - much more skeptical.
Most CIOs and CTOs are bullish on agentic AI, believing the emerging technology will soon become essential to their enterprises, but lower-level IT pros who will be tasked with implementing agents have serious doubts.
While 53% of tech execs see AI agents being core to business operations in the next two years, only 29% of IT practitioners see that coming to pass, according to a new survey from uptime monitoring vendor PagerDuty.
