- A survey of 4,454 CEOs from 95 countries shows that AI has yet to deliver financial gains.
- 56% of CEOs saw no cost benefits, but also did not suffer losses after its adoption.
- 26% of CEOs admitted costs have decreased due to AI, while 22% reported an increase.
Many executives have claimed that AI is the future, and millions of dollars and other resources are being invested in various initiatives across enterprises. This has resulted in a massive memory apocalypse affecting nearly all industries worldwide.
A new survey, boasting a large pool of 4,454 CEOs across 95 countries, shows that reported financials across companies do not paint the rosy picture of AI often described by industry executives.
56% of the surveyed CEOs said their companies have seen no financial gains from investing in and adopting AI so far.
Why it matters: The survey confirms that AI has yet to deliver on the promises, which suggests a grim future for the industry. It’s unclear if the financial returns from investments in AI will improve in the future.
The latest global CEO survey by Professional Services Network PwC also highlights that only 30% of CEOs reported increased revenue from AI in the last year. 26% are also seeing lower costs, but this is where all the positives seem to end.
Only 12% of CEOs reported both of these positive outcomes after adopting AI in their companies, a much lower figure than many expected.
Meanwhile, 22% of CEOs reported that their costs have increased after investing in AI, suggesting that funding AI has backfired, at least so far.
Therefore, many critics of AI have claimed that this AI boom is nothing more than a bubble waiting to pop in the next few years. This is expected to come true if financial gains from AI don’t improve worldwide by next year.
OpenAI is reportedly heading towards bankruptcy by mid-2027, for example. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has also warned about the AI bubble, saying it needs to be adopted more widely to ensure sustainability.
