    AI has moved fast. 88% of organizations are already using it. Yet only 39% see any real impact on the bottom line. The question is no longer whether AI works. The question is why so few organizations are actually benefiting from it.

    of organizations use AI in at least one business function

    39%

    of organizations report EBIT impact at the enterprise level

    74%

    of companies plan to deploy agentic AI within two years, yet only 21% have mature governance structures

    Key Findings

    AI is already transforming business, but the transformation is uneven.

    AI Adoption Clusters Where Work Is Already Digital
    Adoption concentrates on software engineering, marketing, sales, customer operations, and IT, areas where work is already digital and modular.

    The Investment Doesn’t Match the Return
    Despite $30 to 40 billion in enterprise AI investment, 95% of organizations see no meaningful return in profit and loss terms.

    AI Is Moving Beyond Chatbots
    62% of organizations are experimenting with agents that interpret objectives and execute multi-step actions on their own.

    AI-Native Companies Are Structured Differently
    The most significant long-term impact of AI may not come from how existing organizations adapt, but from how new organizations are built. AI-native companies scale through systems rather than headcount, and that difference compounds over time.
