Publisher: McKinsey & Company (QuantumBlack AI)
Survey Size: Global enterprise survey of 1,363 participants
Focus: Enterprise AI adoption, generative AI implementation, and business impact analysis
Original Report Excerpt
"According to McKinsey's latest survey on AI, 78% of respondents say their organizations use AI in at least one business function, up from 72% in early 2024 and 55% a year earlier. The use of gen AI has seen a similar jump: 71% of respondents say their organizations regularly use gen AI in at least one business function, up from 65% in early 2024. Organizations most often report using AI technology in IT and marketing and sales functions, followed by service operations. For generative AI specifically, organizations are most often using it in marketing and sales, product and service development, service operations, and software engineering—business functions where gen AI deployment would likely generate the most value. Respondents' expectations for gen AI's impact remain high, with three-quarters predicting that gen AI will lead to significant or disruptive change in their industries in the years ahead."
