AI Takes Center Stage in Enterprise Technology Priorities

Nearly three-quarters of C-suite executives plan to increase their company’s tech investments this year, according to a BCG survey of C-suite executives, and 89% rank AI and generative AI among their top three priorities. More than half expect AI to deliver cost savings, primarily through productivity gains, improved customer service and IT efficiencies.
