Corporate AI Adoption Slows Amid Pilot Failures and Value Gaps

Julie Sweet, CEO of Accenture, highlights that AI implementation in large companies is slower and more challenging than expected, mainly due to organizational and mindset barriers. Despite high AI spending plans, many firms face difficulties in scaling AI effectively, which may lead to job cuts and process overhauls. However, Sweet remains optimistic about AI's long-term potential to drive innovation and growth, emphasizing the need for leadership, accountability, and reinvention to unlock its full benefits.
