Global AI Confessions Report: CEO Edition


Whitepaper

The Global AI Confessions Report: CEO Edition from Dataiku, based on a Harris Poll survey of 500 CEOs worldwide, reveals a stark reality: AI success is now a career-defining mandate for top executives. A staggering 74% of CEOs admit they could be out of a job within two years if they fail to deliver measurable AI-driven business gains.

With 70% in agreement that it is very likely a fellow CEO will be ousted before the end of 2025 due to a failed AI strategy or AI-related crisis, the pressure is undeniable. Adding to this, more than half (54%) of CEOs acknowledge that at least one competitor has already deployed a superior AI strategy, signaling an urgent need for leadership to move beyond just AI ambition and into tangible execution.

The survey also unveils an evolving corporate power dynamic — 94% of CEOs agree that an AI agent could provide equal or better counsel on business decisions than a human board member, and 89% believe AI can develop a better strategic plan than one or more of their own executive leaders.
