Survey: CIOs Adopting AI Without The Guardrails To Scale
Techstrong.IT, Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026
Enterprises are accelerating their investment in AI, but many leaders acknowledge they are moving faster than their organizations can safely manage.
That is the central finding of Logicalis' 2026 Global CIO Report, based on a survey of 1,000 IT and business leaders conducted by Vanson Bourne at the end of 2025. The research paints a picture of strong executive appetite for AI alongside mounting unease about governance and long-term resilience.
Nearly all respondents, 94%, said their organizations have increased spending on AI over the past year. Yet just over half believe adoption is progressing too quickly. A large majority described their current approach as 'learning as we go,' suggesting that effective structures are far from clear.
