Description

Strategic Intelligence: Tech Sentiment Polls Q3 2025

Summary

This report is based on polls designed to help us understand the current sentiment of the business community toward emerging and established technologies.

Key Highlights
  • In Q3 2025, 78% of respondents believed artificial intelligence (AI) would disrupt their industry, as leading tech companies continue to roll out generative and agentic AI products. However, consistent with previous quarters, less than half of respondents believed AI would live up to all its promises. As more people interact with AI products, such as large language models (LLMs), they increasingly encounter the technology's limitations. In Q3, a staggering 94% of respondents claimed that they partially or fully understood AI.
  • As a technology, cybersecurity is ubiquitous across all sectors. In Q3 2025, 73% of respondents believed cybersecurity was already disrupting their industry or would do so in the next 12 months. This year has seen a series of cyberattacks on major retailers, proving that no company is exempt from cyberattacks. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, it will be more difficult to identify and tackle cybersecurity threats.
Scope
  • Our sentiment polls ran between April and June 2025 on GlobalData's Verdict network of B2B websites, which had 9.2 million user sessions in Q3 2025. In total, 1,431 respondents participated in the survey.
  • The survey focused on seven technologies: artificial intelligence, augmented reality, cloud computing, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, the metaverse, and robotics.
Reasons to Buy
  • This survey gives a unique insight into the views of the business community on emerging and established technologies.
  • The responses reveal which technologies executives view as most disruptive, which they believe to be over-hyped, and how their opinion of them has changed over time.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
