Episode 55: Most Companies Have AI. Almost None Have Results.
AI adoption is accelerating—but is it actually creating business value?In this episode of The Digital Edge, we discuss the current state of AI adoption in business as of September 2026. While more organizations are deploying AI at scale, only a small percentage are seeing significant economic impact.The conversation explores why AI adoption has not yet lived up to some of the biggest predictions, how AI is transforming software development, and why businesses should focus on real business needs rather than adopting AI simply because it is the latest trend.Dominik and Françoise share five practical recommendations for businesses looking to adopt AI, including giving employees access to AI tools with proper training and governance, connecting AI capabilities to real business needs, building small internal applications, evaluating whether expensive software could be developed in-house, and using AI to create new digital products and improve customer experiences.The discussion also looks at the next stage of AI adoption: redesigning entire business processes around AI rather than simply adding AI to existing workflows.AI is moving quickly. The challenge for businesses is figuring out where it can create real, measurable value now.#ai #artificialintelligence #businessai #digitaltransformation #aiadoption #futureofwork #softwaredevelopment #businessstrategy #DigitalEdge
