Global Leaders Prioritize AI Investment Amid Uncertainty
The KPMG Global AI Pulse Q1 2026 finds 75% of leaders will prioritize AI investment despite macroeconomic uncertainty. Indian organizations show rising AI spend but weak value capture: only 11% report consistent business value and 64% report some meaningful value. Common obstacles are data quality, integration, governance, data privacy, and workforce readiness. Enterprises are deploying AI across customer experience, operations, risk management, and development productivity, but many lack the operating model, measurement, and controls to convert pilots into sustained ROI. The report signals a shift from experimentation to scaling, with an increased focus on governance and risk management as prerequisites for lasting value.
