Gartner's Warning: Why 40% of AI Projects Are About to Die

from Reflect w/ Ed Fassio · host Ed Fassio

Reflect w/ Ed Fassio — where AI tells the stories that matter. Gartner predicts over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027. Not because the models fail. Because of escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls. The infrastructure around the model is what kills projects, not the model itself. Enterprise AI adoption is at 88%, but execution is the bottleneck. The gap between AI's promise and most organizations' ability to deliver is where careers go to die. We break down why most AI projects fail, what the survivors do differently, and how to avoid being in the 40%. Your Move: Don't start with the model. Start with the operating model. The organizations that succeed at AI don't have better technology. They have better processes. — Reflect w/ Ed Fassio | reflectpodcast.comSend us Fan Mail Support the showLISTEN TO MORE EPISODES: https://www.reflectpodcast.com
