đśď¸Everyone is using AI. But almost nobody is using it well! IF you're one of "almost nobody", you're already behind!
It's not me saying this. Instead, thatâs the harsh truth in McKinseyâs State of AI 2025 report.
88% of companies now use AI in at least one business function. AI is everywhere.
âď¸Every team has a âpilot.â
âď¸Every leadership team has a slide deck.
âď¸Every engineer has played with a model.
But hereâs the plot twist:
đ Only ~1 in 4 companies (about 23â33%) have actually scaled AI.
The rest? Theyâre trapped in the business equivalent of tutorial hell: trying things, experimenting, running POCs⌠but never turning AI into real, repeatable ROI.
And the irony?
Leaders believe theyâre âaheadâ just because theyâre doing something with AI.
Actually, it's exactly the opposite. Doing "AI project" is not innovation anymore. It's business as usual.
2026 will be the turning point. The companies that succeed next year will be the ones that finally break out of pilot mode and move into scaling mode: embedding AI into processes, redesigning workflows, and investing at the capability level, not the project level.
Everyone else, even the ones who say âweâre doing AIâ, are already behind. The real competitive advantage is no longer adopting AI. Itâs scaling it.

âDoing AI projects â Scaling AI.
âExperimentation â Transformation.
âPilots â Value.
