So I can speak to this since I am trying to sell to them.
CEO is being told from the markets, board, consultancies, Gartner etc that you need to have a Generative AI strategy. What that means in practice is irrelevant. You just need to throw it all against a wall and see what sticks. If you don't then the risk is you get left behind.
CEO is telling the CIO that the need to figure this all out with the obvious pilot programs being in Customer Support and Search which the CFO has been tasked to find budget for. The problem is that the data in these companies is poor and getting poorer as the number of SaaS apps explode and they are forced to just dump everything in a messy data lake. Which is why for the CDO, AI is like their #6 concern and is going to make their lives 100x harder.
The logical conclusion to all of this is that 95% of these projects will fail: (a) data is bad with no easy way to fix it, (b) LLMs are inaccurate/biased making them a risk, (c) ROI is poor, (d) data privacy/sovereignty is a mess.

I can confirm this is the default view at many companies, just the usual FOMO - the irony being this happens even in the companies that are valued for not delivering computer-generated content. Using AI they actually take a greater risk than not doing that - but well, the CEOs somehow are convinced they have no other choice.
