Gartner Report: AI Strategy Miscalculation Ranks Among Top Emerging Business Risks
Gartner's latest Quarterly Emerging Risk Report, based on a survey of 308 enterprise risk management leaders, auditors and senior executives, identifies AI strategy miscalculation as the third most concerning emerging risk facing organisations, appearing among the report's leading risks for the first time. It ranks below AI-enabled discovery of cybersecurity vulnerabilities and geopolitical energy supply shocks, which retained the top two positions. The report warns that businesses pursuing AI strategies without adequate assessment of benefits, readiness, or governance risk significant financial and operational setbacks, extending AI-related concerns beyond cybersecurity and compliance into core business strategy and competitive positioning.
Remediação
Gartner recommends organisations develop strategic AI action plans that identify and mitigate risks at each stage of adoption, assess AI investments against business priorities, evaluate organisational readiness, and implement governance before scaling deployments. The firm advises evaluating AI as a portfolio of business decisions tied to measurable outcomes, rather than a purely technological initiative, and looking beyond conventional productivity metrics to assess how AI affects decision-making quality.
