A new survey of chief financial officers (CFOs) at Britain’s biggest companies shows growing optimism about artificial intelligence (AI) and a more tempered view of geopolitical risks. According to Deloitte’s latest quarterly UK CFO Survey, 73% of CFOs say they are optimistic that AI will improve business performance. The figure is higher than previous survey results, with optimism rising from 59% at the end of 2025 and from 39% earlier in the period cited in the reporting.

In particular, the accounts note that CFOs are less worried about geopolitical risks than before, suggesting a shift in how they balance external uncertainty against the expected benefits of AI. Overall, the sources portray a contrast between stronger confidence in AI and continued caution in areas such as investment pace and risk assessment.
