Recorded live at IBM Think 2026, this panel discussion covers three main topics: IBM's AI maturity and integration across full business lifecycles (including the 'Bob' coding agent), findings from the IBM Institute for Business Value CEO study showing 64% of CEOs are comfortable making major strategic decisions based on AI-generated input, and CrunchBase data showing AI captured 66% of global VC funding in April at $37B. Panelists discuss AI governance as a critical and often overlooked priority, drawing parallels to cloud security adoption. The evolving Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role is examined, with debate over whether it should be a permanent C-suite position or a transitional function best embedded within a cross-functional team. Risks of implicit trust in AI systems and the potential for a major breach to reset executive confidence are also highlighted.
