Companies are spending trillions on AI. The C-suite doesn't know who is in charge of it. | Fortune

A new Pearl Meyer survey suggests corporate AI spending is surging, but responsibility for outcomes is still unclear. Only 34% of C-suite executives said it’s consistently clear who makes decisions about AI, the lowest among groups polled; the figure was 53% among board members and 57% among senior managers and professionals below the C-level. The study of 116 leaders, conducted in May and June and shared exclusively with Fortune, also finds 78% of non-C-suite respondents believe their companies have senior talent to oversee AI companywide. The concerns arrive as AI investment accelerates: Gartner projects $2.5 trillion in spending this year and $3.3 trillion next.
