8x8’s AI Accountability Survey
Tuesday 8th September, 2026
8x8 commissioned a survey of 2,501 technology leaders across five markets to ask who gets blamed when an AI agent makes a mistake. The finding that half of UK respondents point to the CIO gave the company a timely hook into a less obvious question: whether those leaders are actually covered by D&O insurance.
Why it worked: It yoked fresh, quant-backed blame data (CIOs held liable) to an immediate, underexamined consequence—D&O coverage gaps—with broker-ready implications.
The lesson: Consider pairing new, proprietary survey stats on “who gets blamed” with a downstream, overlooked risk or cost that another department must solve.
