Cognizant published research arguing that “plug-and-play” AI is not sufficient for enterprise adoption and that companies are prioritizing customized, full-stack AI solutions integrated into business operations. The study was based on a survey of 600 AI decision-makers and interviews with 38 executives. It found that 63% of companies report moderate-to-large gaps between their AI ambitions and current capabilities. The most-cited obstacles to scaling AI were regulation and compliance (33%) and difficulty proving ROI (31%). The report also said 52% of companies already invest at least USD 10 million annually in AI initiatives.
