CFOs anticipate that ROI will take longer than a year, as they expect to run experiments and encounter failures along the way. However, they view AI as a prime tool for increasing employee productivity and recognize its potential to handle daily administrative tasks, allowing employees to focus on more strategic projects. The challenge lies in preparing the workforce for AI usage at scale.
