The Cisco AI Readiness Index is out. Let's go around the office and ask them employees how well they know key stats and key takeaways from your report. Do you know what percent of companies globally report that they're ready to leverage AI to its full potential? Gosh. Maybe 35% at best? I would say at least 75%. At least 85%. Even though they feel the pressure to deploy, only 13% of companies globally say that they are fully ready to leverage AI and AI powered technologies to its full potential. That's one percent lower year over year. By chance, do you know what percent of companies reported increased urgency to deploy AI over the past year? Good question. I think 95%. Is it about, like, 67%? I would say 42%. About 78%. Most companies actually feel pressure to deploy an AI strategy. In fact, 98% say urgency has increased over the past year with CEOs and leadership teams driving in the urgency in half of them.
