In the world of AI, bold experiments are everywhere but results are far harder to come by. A new MIT study revealed a stark reality: 95% of AI pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI within six months.

This is a headline that sparks concern, but shouldn’t spark retreat. The key insight is that a clear pattern separates the projects that stall from the ones that scale, and that the winners aren’t building flashy demos but rather embedding AI into workflows, empowering domain experts and measuring impact from day one.

At the same time, the technology behind the AI itself is accelerating. New models are rewriting cost-performance benchmarks, and agents are moving beyond experimentation into genuine operational roles. Early adopters are proving that these tools are not only viable but transformative when deployed with intent.

The key takeaway? Success isn’t about betting on the right model, instead it’s about building the right process.
