Signal Technology supply chain choke points already caused disruption in 2025
Summary
One statement in IBM's set of questions on AI resilience asks whether technology supply bottlenecks made 2025 more disruptive for the business. Forty-two percent of executives agreed. The item sits beside related findings: a majority worry that geopolitical events could affect their access to compute, and half are concerned about depending on compute in particular regions. IBM also highlights reliance on a handful of chip suppliers as a strategic challenge. The signal shows that supply chain choke points are not only a future risk but a disruption many firms have already experienced.
