CEOs And CISOs At Odds Over The Benefits Of Generative AI
ITPro, Tuesday, June 17th, 2025
While CEOs are hugely enthusiastic, CISOs worry about governance and legacy technology
While CEOs are gung-ho about the use of AI, CISOs are far more cautious, with nearly half having a negative attitude about generative AI rollouts.
According to a survey from NTT Data, there's a big misalignment between C-suite leaders when it comes to business goals and operational readiness for generative AI deployment.
Virtually all - 99% - of C-suite executives told researchers that they were expecting further generative AI investments over the next two years, with two-thirds (67%) of CEOs planning significant commitments. Nearly nine-in-ten (89%) reckoned that AI was the top technology they needed to ensure their competitiveness and profitability.
