In addition, 74% of Chinese CEOs expect their company's revenue to grow at an average annual rate of at least 2.5% over the next three years, up 19 percentage points from last year. Artificial intelligence is a key theme of this survey: 76% of Chinese CEOs listed it as a priority investment area over the next three years, up 17 percentage points from last year—a larger increase than the global level. Furthermore, 86% of surveyed Chinese CEOs plan to redesign roles, career development paths, and team structures within the next two to five years to reflect human-machine collaboration.
