MIT survey: only 16% of firms gain transformative value from AI
What happened
MIT Technology Review Insights published a survey of enterprise AI adoption on 29 October 2026. The survey shows that all responding firms use AI, but only 16% gain transformative value from deployment, while 40% see moderate gains in specific tasks or teams only. The report does not disclose the survey sample size, the composition of responding firms or the survey period, nor does it explain the gains of the remaining respondents. The survey is the latest development in this story, with no response from other organisations or follow-up reporting so far.
