In Autumn 2019, as CIOs carefully crafted their technology investment plans for the new year, artificial intelligence and other advanced analytics made up a key part of the initiatives earmarked for investment. It was during that October to December time period when Deloitte was surveying IT leaders about the state of AI in their enterprises for a report released in July 2020. But as we all know, the tech plans those leaders set late last year hit a surprise challenge in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down economies and changed the way we work.

But instead of throwing out those plans to preserve investment for other priorities, AI and advanced analytics became one of the top priorities, according to Beena Ammanath, executive director of the Deloitte AI Institute. Rather than cut back on these initiatives to preserve cash during what started as an unpredictable crisis, IT leaders instead accelerated their investments in these technologies.

Many of those enterprises -- 71% -- were planning to increase their investments anyway, Ammanath told InformationWeek. Those are the ones who told Deloitte in their survey responses last fall that increases in AI investments were part of their 2020 plans.
