CIOs' AI Confidence Yet To Match Results
CIO, Monday, October 13th, 2025
While a large percentage of IT and business leaders believe their AI efforts will meet or exceed expectations, only a small number have successfully deployed projects thus far.
A huge majority of IT leaders believe they will meet or exceed AI expectations, but that confidence is not yet supported by key metrics for success. In fact, most have a long road ahead.
According to a new survey from AIOps observability provider Riverbed, 88% of technical specialists and business and IT leaders believe their organizations will make good on their AI expectations, despite only 12% currently having AI in enterprise-wide production. Moreover, just one in 10 AI projects have been fully deployed, respondents say, suggesting that enthusiasm is significantly outpacing the ability to deliver.
