48% of CFOs said they’d go with AI over a gut feeling in new survey

In a recent survey of CFOs, nearly half (48%) said they’d follow an AI recommendation even if it went against their judgment.

Finance chiefs were more apt to follow such recommendations compared to their fellow C-Suite counterparts, with just 11% of COOs and 33% of CIOs saying they would do the same under the circumstances.

The survey, which was conducted in May and June, went to 100 CFOs, 100 CIOs and 100 COOs working at businesses with $100 million or greater in annual revenue.

The survey also detected a relatively high level of usage of large language models, tools like ChatGPT and Claude, for decision-making, with 61% of respondents citing such tools “among the external sources that most influence strategic decisions.” See more findings.
