CIOs were given significant budgets to improve productivity, cost savings, and competitive advantages with gen AI. AI at Wharton reports enterprises increased their gen AI investments in 2024 by 2.3 times compared to 2023 but forecasts lower increases over the next two to five years.

Have you ever wondered what happens on the internet in a single minute? Probably not, but as a market researcher, these are the kinds of things that pop into my mind. My curiosity, influenced by 40+ years as a tech analyst, often causes me to ponder the idiosyncrasies of what was once called “the information highway.” My journey of conducting research on the internet began in 1995 when I was privileged to have dinner with a major venture capitalist who had just backed a start-up call

IT departments ran proofs-of-concept (PoCs), but some business leaders outside IT with P&L to manage also ran their own experiments without necessarily informing IT when they did so. Sometimes its as easy as subscribing to an AI-driven service.
