The AI revolution is reaching almost every company, but only a handful know how to utilize it effectively.
A McKinsey’s new State of AI 2025 report, done after surveying around 2,000, states that
Most organizations are still in the experimentation or pilot phase with AI, having not yet begun to scale AI across the enterprise.
Sixty-two percent of survey respondents report that their organizations are at least experimenting with AI agents, also indicating that AI is enabling their innovation.
In other words, most companies remain stuck in pilot mode, testing ideas rather than transforming operations, with an overall modest business impact.
The McKinsey report notes how redesigning workflows is a key success factor among companies. In this regard, half of those AI high performers intend to use AI to transform their businesses.
In terms of jobs, roughly 32 percent of firms expect job cuts of three percent or more next year, while only 13 percent foresee hiring growth.
