McKinsey State of AI 2026: enterprise ROI still flat
McKinsey's State of AI in 2026 report, based on a survey of 1,719 professionals and business leaders, found enterprise AI investment and conviction rising while earnings impact remains flat, with 37% attributing at least some EBIT impact to AI (unchanged from 2025) and only 6% qualifying as AI high performers. Agentic AI scaling grew to 40% among organizations with over $1 billion in revenue (up from 27%), 80% of AI users reported individual productivity gains, and 39% expect AI-driven job cuts in the coming year, though McKinsey noted realizing ROI requires organizational change, not just deploying tools.
