AI will change the CIO’s role more than the last decade of digital transformation ever did. As AI agents take on more of the day-to-day execution, IT leaders are being asked to govern outcomes they used to manage directly: who holds decision rights, how intent becomes action, and how that action is monitored and corrected at scale.
This Forrester trends report examines that shift in detail, from how AI reshapes enterprise architecture to what leaders should prioritize now as the CIO role moves from running systems to governing an autonomous enterprise.
