AI moves into CEO decision-making; outcomes hinge on organisation, talent and agents
Boston Consulting Group said global companies are set to double AI investment in 2026 from the prior year despite economic uncertainty, and are elevating AI to a core CEO agenda item. In a survey of 2,360 executives in 16 countries, 72 percent of CEOs said they are the main AI decision-maker. The report said leading firms allocate 60 percent of AI budgets to reskilling and more than half to agent-based AI.
