A new survey shows CFOs growing more confident that AI will boost productivity, while worries about geopolitical risks have eased modestly.

London, July 20 – Chief financial officers of many of the largest British companies have become more optimistic about the impact of artificial intelligence on their business and, at the same time, somewhat less concerned about geopolitical risks, according to the results of the latest survey.

73% of those surveyed expressed optimism that artificial intelligence will boost the productivity of their business, which is significantly higher than 59% at the end of last year and 39% two years ago.

Such results underscore the growing adoption of AI technologies by British companies in the financial sector and in strategic planning.
