deloitte's 2026 technology trends research reports that 89% of ai agent pilots fail to reach production. a teradata survey reveals that while 78% of enterprises have at least one agent pilot running, only 14% have successfully scaled one for organisation-wide use. this significant gap highlights challenges in deploying ai agents in enterprises. the high failure rate affects the overall adoption of ai in businesses. organisations are widely experimenting with ai, but few are able to integrate it into their operations.
