CEOs Increase AI Spending Despite Bubble Concerns
KPMG US surveyed 100 large US-based CEOs from late January to mid-February and found nearly 80% will allocate at least 5% of capital budgets to AI this year, despite one in four seeing an AI investment bubble. CEOs flagged cybersecurity as the top concern—with about two-thirds boosting security spending—and prioritized workforce training and operational AI integration, while roughly 20% still expect job cuts.
