About the Session
AI is moving too fast to follow one development at a time. This 30-minute session cuts through the noise to give executives a clear, enterprise-wide view of what has changed, what matters now, and what to do next. Drawing on Gartner’s latest research and market intelligence, we’ll connect the most important developments across technology, vendors, economics, risk, workforce and business strategy.• What’s changing now: The biggest AI developments, emerging technologies and vendor moves reshaping the market and what they mean for the enterprise.
• Where leaders should focus: The most important shifts in AI strategy, use cases, ROI, costs, cybersecurity, governance, data and workforce readiness.
• How to work across the enterprise: Where decisions made by the CIO, CFO, CHRO and other executives increasingly depend on one another, and where enterprises need a coordinated approach.
• What to do next: The decisions and actions leaders should prioritize now to capture value, manage risk and prepare for what’s coming next.
