AI adoption hindered by workflow issues, not model capability

A recent analysis suggests that while generative AI models may be capable, their practical business impact is often limited due to a lack of organizational readiness and flawed workflows. According to MIT research, 95% of generative AI pilot programs failed to show significant P&L improvements. The DORA 2025 report indicates that AI amplifies existing processes rather than fixing broken ones. Teams that successfully leverage AI treat its output as a draft, applying the same quality control standards as they would for a junior employee's work, thus avoiding shortcuts in critical review stages. AI
