GoKawiilDeloitte report: enterprise AI production adoption set to double within six months
Deloitte's 2026 State of AI in the Enterprise found worker access to AI tools rose 5% in 2025, and the share of companies running at least 40% of AI projects in production is expected to double within six months. The report frames this shift as AI moving from isolated pilots to always-on production workloads spanning customer service, IT, research and business-process agents.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
As AI usage becomes steady and large-scale rather than experimental, per-request consumption pricing may no longer be the cheapest option, suggesting some enterprises could benefit from investing in owned or dedicated capacity instead. Whether ownership actually saves money depends on each organization's specific usage volume and consistency, meaning the decision is workload-specific rather than a blanket cloud-versus-on-premises choice.
- Worker access to AI grew 5% in 2025, according to Deloitte
- Companies with 40%+ of AI projects in production could double within six months
- Sustained, high-volume AI use may shift the economics from pay-per-use toward owned capacity
