Signal 60% of executives already use AI in decisions; Gartner projects half of decisions AI-touched by 2027

Summary

AI is quickly becoming part of how executives make decisions. Deloitte's 2026 Global Human Capital Trends survey finds that 60 percent of executives now regularly use AI to support their choices. Deloitte also cites a Gartner projection that by 2027, half of all business decisions will be augmented or automated by AI agents. Even corporate boards are starting to draw on AI to inform their decisions. Many leaders are turning to AI because they face an overwhelming flow of data and choices. Deloitte cautions, however, that this adoption may be moving faster than the oversight needed to manage it.
