1 In 3 IT Leaders Pull Back On AI Investments: Asana
CIODIVE, Friday, May 9th, 2025
A lack of employee training and rushed investments in the technology contributed to 'half-baked' adoption strategies, according to Asana.
AI use is increasing, but IT leaders have regrets about investments and experimentation, according to an Asana survey published Tuesday. The software provider's research arm surveyed more than 550 technology decision-makers.
More than half of IT leaders surveyed regret implementing AI without training employees. Nearly 30% of respondents said they invested in AI too quickly, up 7% from last year's survey. Moreover, 62% said they regret not experimenting enough, although that's down 10% from last year.
For IT leaders who invested in AI last year, more than one-third are now pulling back or replacing AI-powered tools and services with 'better alternatives,' according to the survey.
