The Gen AI Divide report from the MIT NANDA initiative reveals a major lack of ROI on gen AI projects
A recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Networked Agents and Decentralized AI (NANDA) put forward some numbers that threw cold water on red-hot AI hype: Despite an estimated $30-$40 billion of enterprise investments into generative AI, only 5% of organizations are seeing a return on their money. The gap between that five percent and the 95% of organizations who are getting zero return is so stark that the MIT researchers dubbed it the “Gen AI Divide.”
While those few successful integrated AI pilots “are extracting millions in value, while the vast majority remain stuck with no measurable [profit and loss] impact. This divide does not seem to be driven by m
