AI productivity rises amid 2026 uncertainty
"AI continues to deliver measurable productivity and performance gains across organizations, but global economic uncertainty and geopolitical risk are reshaping technology investment, hiring, and innovation strategies for 2026, according to the annual Reveal Top Software Development Challenges Survey from Infragistics, released today. The study surveyed 250 senior technology leaders in December 2025, including C-suite executives, CIOs, CTOs, VPs, IT managers, and directors responsible for software development and business intelligence at mid-market and enterprise organizations across industries."
""The Reveal survey shows that AI is clearly delivering productivity gains, but today's economic reality is raising the bar for every technology investment," said Casey Ciniello, Reveal and Slingshot Senior Product Manager, Infragistics. "The data signals a decisive shift from experimentation to disciplined execution, as talent shortages, tighter budgets, and global instability force tougher choices about where-and how fast-to scale. The organizations that win will be those that focus AI investment on clear, near-term business results.""
