McKinsey: Adoption of AI advances, but foundational barriers remain
McKinsey conducted a survey including 2,100 responses. My primary takeaway is that the enterprise narrative around AI is totally off. AI is not going to optimize the way that existing business models work as a bolt-on improvement to risk management or customer service delivery.

Skip the commentary, but the data is worthwhile.
