MIT survey: only 16% of firms extract transformative value from AI

An MIT Technology Review Insights poll finds every surveyed organization uses AI, yet only 16% extract transformative value; 40% see moderate gains in specific tasks or teams and 23% see minimal or no returns. 38% are still piloting use cases, 35% use AI to assist employees, and only 12% have AI agents in production. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar says the missing piece is a business context layer.
