Why Only 7% of Companies Reached Advanced AI Automation: Insights from McKinsey Report
by Matvii Kharlamenko, Co-Founder / CTO
I have mixed feelings about the McKinsey & Company report on AI adoption.
Everyone talks about AI, but barely anyone actually scales it.
Recently, McKinsey & Company released their report "The State of AI in 2025", sharing insights about AI adoption across industries. Despite the fact that AI tool usage (including GenAI) has nearly doubled over the past two years, only 7% of companies have reached advanced levels of AI implementation and scaling.
Why This Matters
Among the reasons mentioned in the report, I would also add two critical issues that often get overlooked:
The Black-Box Problem
AI rarely explains how it got to a result, which makes automation unpredictable and, frankly, scary to rely on.
The Instability Risk
Models get downgraded, behave differently, or even disappear. We already saw this:
- Claude's performance once dropped by almost half due to internal issues
- GPT deprecated older models, breaking countless AI tools and bots overnight
When your business operations depend on external AI services, you're vulnerable to changes completely outside your control.
The Good News
At BeingArt IT, we help companies take the leap into AI the right way — with stable, real automation you can trust.
