Description

PwC’s 29th! CEO survey - 4,454 CEOs across 95 countries and territories. I likely missed this in the past because the track record of big consulting and surveys is shaky - and they likely spent their time on topics I didn’t care about, but here we are, they care about AI for shnizzle - 30% even claim revenue increases due to AI.

Comments

While this is clearly a pitch to help big companies figure out their AI, it’s a decent take on how CEOs feel about AI’s recent past and future.
