Report Finds Only 7% of Companies Generate Measurable Value from AI

A Fast Company report, which included survey insights from Tata Consultancy Services, found that only about 7% of companies are generating measurable value from artificial intelligence. The survey, conducted among 380 C-level executives, indicated that 39% of companies cite a clear return on investment as a top challenge. Most other companies are either scaling AI with moderate returns (23%) or piloting initiatives that have not yet scaled (23).

The findings highlight that despite high excitement around AI, practical implementation and scaling remain major hurdles for businesses. The report suggests that an unstructured rollout of AI is a recipe for failure, pointing to significant challenges in achieving measurable value across industries.
