A report by MIT revealed that companies investing $300-$400 million in generative AI have generally seen no returns. However, Gartner’s 2025 survey found that 45% of organizations with mature AI usage reported consistent value from projects running for over three years. Experts emphasize that successful AI strategies depend on various factors, including aligning projects with clear business outcomes. CIOs are advised to continuously assess their organization’s AI direction with critical questions regarding performance and problem-solving alignment.
With the associated risks of AI, organizations must establish robust risk assessment and management processes. EY’s recent survey highlighted that 99% of businesses experienced financial losses due to AI-related risks, with only 12% identifying adequate controls. Experts suggest that CIOs should work with data and risk management teams to create frameworks to navigate these challenges. Overall, CIOs should actively engage in discussions about data requirements, regulatory compliance, and the impacts of data unpreparedness on AI initiatives.
