Gen AI: Negligible Financial Impact in Most Instances
AI stocks declined, triggering a tech sell-off, after a report from AI firm NANDA (MIT Media Lab) highlighted the low success rate of generative AI in commercial deployments. The report found only 5% of pilot projects deliver financial returns, citing issues with contextual awareness and learning capabilities. Successful applications are more common in back-office workflows. While individual productivity with AI is high, institutional-level benefits are lacking, raising questions about the technology’s practical effectiveness and potential hype. The report suggests strategic partnerships with AI vendors, a recommendation aligned with NANDA’s business interests.
