Signal Only 21% see clear measurable value from AI and only 14% have fully integrated agents
Summary
Deloitte finds a sharp drop-off between using AI in finance and getting results from it. Among respondents who actively use AI solutions, only 21% believe the investment has already produced clear and measurable value. An even smaller group, 14%, has reached the next step of fully integrating AI agents into specific parts of the finance function. These figures contrast with the 63% who report full deployment and active use. The report reads the gap as a sign of how hard it is to move from pilot projects to AI woven into daily operations. It also observes that enabling agents to handle specific tasks is still a relatively new frontier across industries.
