CEOs Bet Future on AI, Because Watching E-mails Was Just Too Fast

KEY POINTS

•A global IBM survey found 64% of executives expect AI's role to shift toward innovation by 2030.
•Mohamad Ali stated that future businesses will integrate AI into every decision to outperform rivals at Davos.
•Gary Cohn compared AI’s progress to past technology shifts, urging realistic expectations about AI’s evolution.

IBM's Institute for Business Value dropped a 63-page tome in January 2026 ahead of Davos, revealing that 64% of top execs believe by 2030 AI’s edge will pivot from 'saving resources' to 'innovation flexing.' Mohamad Ali, IBM’s SVP, boldly proclaims that in 2030, businesses will be so AI-integrated they'll basically *be* AI, sped up enough to leave competitors in the dust while using automation to say, 'Look, ma, real results!' Meanwhile, Gary Cohn, ex-Goldman Sachs prez, casually notes how AI is just the latest step after office mail runners got demoted to email peasants – evolution, not revolution. IBM’s playbook encourages firms to not just impress with flashy AI, but actually shape it to their niche, run rapid tests, and pump AI fluency into exec DNA faster than financial literacy. Oh, and yes, controlling AI is apparently the new crystal ball for the dummies trying to foresee the next tech apocalypse. Mad props for elevating memos from elevators to algorithms, folks.

Imagine waiting for AI to take over the world like it's the next apocalypse when it's just the new office intern slowly figuring out how to send emails without deleting everything.
