It kicked the door open. In less than two years, generative AI has gone from \u201cinteresting experiment\u201d to \u201cboardroom mandate.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">According to McKinsey&#8217;s State of AI 2025 report, 88% of organisations now use AI in at least one business function, up from 78% just a year ago. Yet only 39% report any measurable impact on enterprise-level profitability, and among those, most say AI accounts for less than 5% of their EBIT. The adoption wave is real. The value is not arriving at the same speed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">Source: <\/span><span style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/quantumblack\/our-insights\/the-state-of-ai<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">So what\u2019s going wrong?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">\u201cWe overestimate what technology can do in the short term and underestimate what people need to change in the long term.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">The AI Productivity Paradox<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:11px\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:116%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:\"Times New Roman\",serif\">AI tools are everywhere.
