AI portfolios are exploding—but ROI isn't keeping pace

‍

Enterprises are launching hundreds of AI initiatives each year. Yet only a small fraction deliver measurable value. As GenAI and agentic systems expand, operational complexity and risk are multiplying, making it a challenge to deliver AI at scale.

The 2026 AI Governance Benchmark Report, based on a global survey of 100 senior AI, data, and technology leaders, reveals how enterprises are navigating this challenge—and where many are falling short.

• 67% of enterprises now report 101–250 proposed AI use cases, up sharply year over year.
  
• Two-thirds lack automated methods to measure AI ROI, relying on manual or projected metrics.
  
• Agentic AI is expanding third-party exposure, with most enterprises connecting AI systems to nearly 20 external tools and services.
  

The result? An illusion of AI value—where activity is mistaken for impact.
