Computing Research Director John Leonard reveals how UK and US IT leaders are prioritising AI, cloud, cybersecurity and digital sovereignty.
In this special Ctrl Alt Lead episode, Computing Research Director John Leonard explains why AI, despite attracting enormous attention, still represents a relatively small proportion of overall IT spend, while cloud remains the largest and most challenging budget category.
The conversation also explores the practical realities behind cloud sovereignty, the difficulties of moving away from incumbent hyperscalers, and how UK organisations compare with their US counterparts in areas including AI adoption, cybersecurity investment and sustainability. The result is an evidence-based look at where IT leaders are investing today and what may shape spending decisions in the years ahead.
