McKinsey just dropped its 2025 AI report. 1. Everyone’s testing, few are scaling. 88% of companies now use AI somewhere. Only 33% have scaled it beyond pilots. 2. The profit gap is huge. Just 6% see real EBIT impact. Most are still stuck in “experiments,” not execution. 3. The winners think bigger. Top performers aren’t cutting costs. They’re redesigning workflows and creating new products. 4. AI agents are emerging. 23% are testing agents. Only 10% have scaled them (mostly in IT and R&D). 5. The jobs shift is starting. 30% of companies expect workforce reductions next year, mostly in junior or support roles. TL;DR: AI adoption is nearly universal. Impact isn’t. The gap between pilots and profit is where the next unicorns will be built.
