Today, we're breaking down the MIT study claiming 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing - and why this headline is misleading the entire market. The report, based on just 52 interviews and 150 survey responses, has been cited as a reason for AI stock crashes, but the methodology is deeply flawed and the findings are being wildly misinterpreted. What the study actually reveals is that while individual employees are getting massive value from AI tools (90% use LLMs regularly vs only 40% of companies buying subscriptions), organizations are struggling with implementation - not because the technology doesn't work, but because of leadership buy-in, poor change management, and organizational dysfunction.
