Research from firms like McKinsey indicates that 92% of companies are increasing AI investments, driven by the desire to automate and innovate. Conversely, reports from the UN warn of potential job impacts—with up to 40% of jobs seeing activities affected by AI, though not necessarily automated entirely. Gartner’s hype cycle indicates that AI is currently at the peak of inflated expectations, but this phase is followed by a gradual adoption and plateau of productivity, where practical, sustained use solidifies.
The key insight: hype does not equate to failure. Instead, it signifies a transition—from initial skepticism to widespread implementation—culminating in real-world, scalable solutions.
