Tech Advisor contributor Jon Mundy has identified the Motorola Signature 27 as a standout device for 2026. Mundy’s testing focused on the integration of advanced camera sensors and display hardware within a tactile, refined chassis.
Corporate Skepticism Toward AI Rollouts
A report published by CIO senior writer Grant Gross reveals growing friction between corporate leadership and the implementation of generative AI. Data from IT advisory firm Avanade suggests that the current pace of AI adoption is failing to meet performance expectations.
“Nearly two-thirds say AI has not yet delivered returns that justify their investment and effort.”
This finding, cited by Gross, highlights the divide between C-suite demands for rapid AI integration and the practical challenges of deploying these models at scale. The report indicates that many organizations are struggling to justify the capital expenditure required for incremental AI features.
