✂️ 𝗖𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘆𝗽𝗲! I’m excited to share my publication with Gary Marcus on the evidence-based realities of GenAI adoption and ROI in organizations. Here are some key quotes:
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
“GenAI for most organizations is, at best, an experiment, far from achieving the enterprise-wide, ‘game-changing’ status predicted for 2025.”
“A Q1 2025 Cisco survey of over 2,500 CEOs worldwide, for example, found that ‘97% plan to adopt and incorporate AI … into their business. But only 2% feel ready for AI.’”
“According to a large Boston Consulting Group (BCG) survey … the vast majority of organizations (74%) are making little to no progress with AI initiatives.”
“Even among organizations deemed ‘AI leaders,’ BCG found that only 4% have developed cutting-edge AI capabilities that generate consistent value.”
“Deloitte uncovered similar findings … Of the nearly 3,000 senior leaders surveyed, the majority (68%) reported transitioning less than a third of their GenAI experiments into production due to issues such as a lack of reliability, security, and privacy.”
“Similarly, a Q3 2024 report by McKinsey found that just 11% of the 1000 companies they surveyed adopted GenAI at scale.”
“In other words, the pace of adoption remains far below the lofty promises made by AI influencers.”
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆
“Start with measurable goals, assess your data and technology, and scale incrementally, but always with an eye on how the technology supports employees, builds trust, and aligns with your organization’s values.”
“Deep AI transformation will likely be incremental, not revolutionary.”
“Over the course of this evolution, leaders should see AI as a tool for augmenting existing structures, not dismantling them, to ensure a smooth and safe transition into the future.”
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀
“The pioneers who succeed in integrating AI into their organizations will be the ones who focus on deliberate, actionable strategies.”
“They will prioritize substance over spectacle and make decisions grounded in their organization’s unique needs and realities.”
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲
“The best organizations won’t be the ones swept up by the latest buzzwords. They’ll be the ones with leaders who separate signal from noise, address realities, and guide their teams through the hard but necessary work of AI adoption.”
