Companies ignoring narrative about AI bubble, doubling investments in AI
Company leaders increasingly view artificial intelligence not as a passing trend but as a structural transformation comparable to digitalization or cloud computing. According to BCG’s AI Radar 2026, 94% of CEOs plan to continue investing in AI even without immediate financial returns, judging inaction to be the greater risk. Management boards, rather than IT departments, are now the main decision-makers, signaling that AI has become a strategic priority.
While a small group of “trailblazers” uses AI to reshape entire organizations — particularly through agentic AI — most firms adopt a pragmatic, selective approach focused on clear business cases. Executives emphasize building solid foundations in data, governance, and risk management, accepting short-term inefficiencies to avoid irreversible strategic delays.
