Signal 88% deploy AI while just as many report no bottom-line impact

Summary

McKinsey finds that AI use has become widespread but financial results have not followed. Its research indicates that 88 percent of organizations now deploy AI in at least some part of the business, while a similar share say it has had no significant effect on the bottom line. The picture from the United States is similar: only 1 percent of C-suite respondents there consider their generative AI rollouts mature. Just 19 percent report that AI has pushed revenue up by more than 5 percent. The signal suggests that broad deployment alone does not produce value, and McKinsey links the gap to piecemeal use cases rather than end-to-end redesign.
