significant effect, and spending big to do so New research has claimed barely any organizations are seeing real success when it comes to the results of heavily implementing AI in their workplace.

A report from Gartner found just 3% of organizations have hit their targets around productivity and efficiency, as well as trying to cut costs across their business using AI. This is despite three quarters of leaders expecting AI technology to have a significant effect in their organization, with 85%
set to spend more on AI in 2027, despite 38% of them already being over budget. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here: AI benefits to come?

Gartner's report is the latest to urge caution when it comes to the possibilities of AI in organizations of all sizes.

A top economist recently warned AI is only helping the world's biggest technology firms - with most other large organizations yet to see any significant benefits, noting that, "Despite massive investments and
widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech."
