CIOs say AI adoption is moving faster than they can manage

AI adoption is moving too rapidly say senior tech leaders, as the pressure to deploy clashes with risk management and compliance concerns. The Logicalis Global CIO Report 2026 says that organizations are racing to invest in AI faster than they can manage it, with a gulf opening between their ambitions and the governance and …

Tables have turned

Are they adopting AI or is AI adopting them?

That's the question.

Make your mind up

Last week it was skills are impacting the roll out of AI and this week it's AI adoption is moving faster than they can manage. Will it have slowed down again by Friday?

It’s almost as if they are just making stuff up as they go along - I suppose anything to keep the hype-train from derailing for a little longer!

Hrm, when the AI^H^HLLM's do this sometimes they call it "hallucinating", which seems pretty charitable.

When the human's do it there are other less flattering terms, e.g. "lying".

Just make sure there's lots of AI related surveys that tell us something about AI, and specifically, how it is humanities fault for not getting on the bandwagon to pay the techbros.

Artificial Idiocy

AI, at best, is a tool that might relieve some of the drudgery for certain tasks. But what Scam Altman and his fellow frauds say is it can do things that it can't and will never do competently. In all areas, 'the devil is in the details'. What will cause failure is 'AI' is fundamentally incompetent and must be babysat to be marginally useful.

I'm sorry Dave...

A truly HaL9000 moment is fast approaching with no guardrails and no audit trail.

CIOs are so bending over to their boards and saying "we've got a large number of AI programmes in progress" to do nothing more than appear responsive to said boards' not wanting to get left behind they've zero clue what the outcome will be.

All customers want is working systems & software, the bollocks of AI causing more pain and suffering is the least on their minds. After all who will be to blame when the Bots write crappy code, it fails and either causes loss of lives, or financial meltdowns?
