While another third (32%) said they have not made the spending decision, only 13% said they would not be acquiring similar gen AI capabilities.
Microsoft has pointed to customers including Visa, BP, Honda and Pfizer using Copilot, and professional services firm partners on Copilot AI including Accenture, EY, KPMG, and PwC.
And even amid the hype, it's important to keep in mind that as gen AI spending grows, it is still dwarfed by companies' cybersecurity budget needs.
That means roughly $5 will be spent on security for every dollar spent on gen AI.
But it's growing, and for now at least, when it comes to the billions in gen AI spending, Microsoft is in the pole position.
