Citiraj:

Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI so far despite billions in investment

Citiraj:

The survey, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (h/t Fortune), reveals the disparity between expectation and reality. While 70% of the businesses questioned were actively using AI, over 80% of them report no impact on company productivity or on employment. That’s despite a belief among the majority of those questioned that AI will boost productivity by 1.4%, reduce headcount by 0.7%, and increase output by 0.8% over the next three years. Among the executives themselves, a third of those surveyed reported using AI in the workplace, but the usage amounted to only 1.5 hours per week on average. A quarter of those surveyed didn’t use AI at all – at least, not yet.

Regardless, AI is continuing to prove to be an epoch-making disruptive technology that the executive class has firmly embraced, with AI firms capturing 61% of global venture capital investment in 2025, totalling $258.7 billion. Meanwhile, companies like Microsoft continue to go all-in on AI, with Microsoft's AI boss believing the technology can replace all white-collar jobs within 18 months. The contradiction – and optimism – among execs proves that AI in the workplace is firmly entrenched, but only time will tell as to whether it has the positive impact that they, and the economy on the whole, will be hoping for.
