Analysis based on 6 articles · First reported Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 29, 2026
The report by KPMG highlights a significant shift in the corporate landscape towards AI-driven decision-making, indicating increased investment in agentic AI and a restructuring of workforces. This trend suggests a growing demand for AI-related skills and services, potentially boosting companies like OpenAI and Uniphore that are at the forefront of AI development and integration. However, it also raises concerns about security and governance, which could lead to new market opportunities for cybersecurity and compliance solutions.
A KPMG report, based on a survey of 2,500 tech executives across 27 countries, reveals that 92% believe managing AI agents will be a vital skill by 2031. The report indicates that 88% of organizations are already investing in agentic AI, with digital assistants projected to constitute 36% of core technology teams by 2027. Experts like Zack Kass from OpenAI and Rakesh Sachdev from Uniphore emphasize the need for strategic workforce restructuring, including smaller teams and flatter structures, to optimize human-AI collaboration. The increasing reliance on third-party collaborators for AI integration also brings significant security, governance, and data protection concerns, with 41% of executives worried about quantum-related encryption threats. Andy Holland of KPMG International noted that organizations face long-term challenges from emerging fields like quantum computing and artificial general intelligence, marking the 'Intelligence Age'.
