AI has transitioned from experimentation to execution, but most enterprises still lack a crucial capability: people prepared to use it effectively.

Codio’s 2025 Enterprise AI Readiness Survey of technology leaders shows that, while investments in AI training are increasing, the biggest obstacle now is the ability to educate and upskill teams. To better understand the state of AI adoption in large U.S. enterprises, we surveyed 252 C-suite and VP-level executives at companies with over 1,000 employees.

This report examines where enterprises currently stand, how budgets and expectations are changing, and what organizations can do to bridge the AI skills gap at scale.
