GoKawiilSurvey: Only 34% of enterprise AI agent projects reach production
A survey of 300 data, AI and technology executives found that on average just 34% of organizations' agentic AI projects make it into production, hampered by legacy data systems, security concerns, and fragmented data access. A smaller group of 'production leaders' averaged 61% of projects advancing beyond pilot, correlating with stronger semantic knowledge capabilities. Data fragmentation was the most-cited barrier overall, cited by 55% of respondents, while production leaders were more likely to flag security and privacy concerns (72%).
