New research by Lenovo indicates that AI investments are projected to make up a significant portion of IT budgets in the near future. With AI spending potentially reaching 20% of IT budgets in 2025, a substantial increase from 13% in 2024, IT decision-makers in EMEA are expressing higher satisfaction rates with their AI projects, leading to a predicted 104% rise in investments. It has been observed that EMEA surpasses North America in exceeding AI project expectations, with optimism transitioning into tangible success for businesses venturing into AI implementation. However, challenges such as data quality issues and limited enforcement of AI governance policies persist, hindering the full potential of AI utilization in the workspace. Lenovo emphasizes the importance of hybrid infrastructure and the adoption of AI PCs to enhance AI capabilities at a local level. As the market projects significant growth in AI PCs, organizations are gearing up to incorporate these devices into their operations. In addition, companies are expected to increase their focus on generative AI, indicating a substantial shift towards full AI implementation in the foreseeable future.
