Forrester：2027 年 AI 将占企业 IT 预算的 20%
AI devours a fifth of companies' IT budgets – Computerworld
Forrester 研究显示，2027 年 AI 将占企业技术支出的 20%，但超过半数 IT 高管预计无法达成投资回报目标。45% 的 AI 决策者要求投资一年内产生正回报，而过去一年仅 22% 看到对营业利润的正面影响。Forrester 认为问题部分源于企业只投入 AI 技术、未同步调整组织与工作流程，未来企业将更多采用运营成本更低的开放 AI 模型。

According to a new study by the research firm Forrester, AI will account for 20% of corporate technology spending in 2027. At the same time, more than half of IT executives are expected to miss their return-on-investment targets, reports The Register.
In the survey, 45% of AI decision-makers state that investments must yield a positive return within one year to be considered successful. At the same time, only 22% have seen a positive impact on their company’s operating profit over the past year.
According to Forrester, the problems stem in part from companies investing in AI technology without simultaneously changing their organizations and work processes. Instead, the financial gains are realized within individual use cases.
To keep costs down, companies are expected to increasingly use open AI models in the future, as they are cheaper to operate. More expensive and advanced AI models are expected to be reserved for more critical tasks.
