TNCR | EXECUTIVE RESEARCH
CIOs have no shortage of technology to work with. But having the tools and actually getting the organization to move with them are two very different things.

The debate is already reaching markets. AI stocks fell Monday as investors considered what a slower pace could mean for spending across the industry, while China rejected the proposal and pushed back on the warnings coming from U.S. AI leaders. Read more →
