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 2026, 76% of respondents believed that 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, fewer than half of the respondents believed AI would live up to all its promises. As more people interact with AI products, they increasingly encounter the technology's limitations.
Scope
Our sentiment polls ran between July and September 2026 on the analyst's Verdict network of B2B websites, which had 5.8 million user sessions in Q3 2026. In total, 783 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.
