CIOs are expected to play a critical role in the success of AI initiatives, but many may soon have to deal with the fallout from failed projects initiated by business leaders without proper IT collaboration. Forrester predicts that by 2026, 25% of CIOs will be accountable for these failures. Experts warn that insufficient technical support and rushed implementation can lead to costly missteps and suboptimal results. The lack of involvement from IT in these AI experiments has resulted in a fragmented approach to technology adoption, leading to data inconsistencies and governance issues.
Organizations are advised to foster collaboration between IT and business leaders for successful project launches, emphasizing the need for a cultural shift. IT professionals should be included early in the process to ensure all technical requirements are met. Forrester’s analysis suggests that CIOs will increasingly take charge of governance and strategy in AI as organizations recognize their importance in developing successful AI solutions. As expectations for productivity rise, a standardization of efforts may become necessary, allowing CIOs to showcase their value in driving innovation and efficiency across the organization.
