MIT Study: 95% of Generative AI Pilots Are Failing 🚨
A new MIT study (2025) has revealed a surprising reality: 95% of generative AI pilots in businesses are failing.
Despite more than $44 billion invested into AI startups in early 2025, only 5% of companies reported any real acceleration in revenue. The research highlights a massive gap between hype and results.
According to MIT, generative AI currently completes just 30% of real-world business tasks, far below industry expectations. This underperformance is raising concerns about the sustainability of current AI business models and the need for more realistic adoption strategies.
📊 Key Insights:
- 💰 $44B+ invested in AI startups in 2025

- ⚙️ Only 30% of tasks completed successfully

While generative AI holds enormous potential, the study suggests businesses must reset expectations and focus on practical, scalable use cases instead of rushing into pilots driven by hype.
