Risk of an AI leadership vacuum

Executives largely see AI implementation as a technical question, with 74% saying that engineers should drive AI integration within their organizations. However, engineers are concerned about how AI will change expectations for their role, and they want more strategic direction and training to implement their organization’s goals. Most engineers (68%) say they wish that organization leadership would lay out a clearer plan for integrating AI.

A lack of alignment on expectations and responsibilities could make it difficult for an organization to achieve its AI goals and, as a consequence, reduce the competitive advantage they expect to gain.
