Climbing Costs, Skills Loss And Other AI Warnings For CIOs
CIODIVE, Monday, October 20th, 2025
Amid seismic change for IT leaders, enterprises need to curate survival kits to mitigate reliability and cost challenges, Gartner analysts said.
As CIOs lead their organizations through AI-driven change, runaway costs and accuracy hiccups continue to threaten momentum, analysts said during the opening keynote of Gartner's IT Symposium/Xpo Monday. The stakes are high for IT chiefs to solve the adoption puzzle, and it's not an easy feat.
'This is the moment where people will look back and say CIOs and AI leaders either made a mistake or they helped put us on a path to greatness,' said Daryl Plummer, distinguished VP analyst and chief of research at Gartner.
