However, CIOs remain clear about AI&#8217;s potential.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation remains the strongest driver of continued investment, with the top three cited benefits being: strengthening predictive analytics, data-driven forecasting and actionable business insights (56%); improving day-to-day service delivery (45%); and enhancing customer experience (45%).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCIOs in Ireland and worldwide are&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/businessplus.ie\/news\/cios-artificial-intelligence\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>43% of CIOs wish artificial intelligence had never been invented https:\/\/businessplus.ie\/news\/cios-artificial-intelligence\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-03 11:02:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/businessplus.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/logicalis-li.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[28,57],"class_list":["post-219431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-data-security","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219431"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219433,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219431\/revisions\/219433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
