Why Only 5% of AI Pilots Succeed

According to MIT, only 5% of AI pilots succeed. Ask us how.

The Reality

A recent MIT study revealed that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail. Too many organizations get stuck in proof-of-concepts (POCs) that never scale. Pilots are often narrow, disconnected from data, and not designed for real-world adoption.

The headlines are focused on the 95% that don’t work. At Altimetrik, we believe the real story is the 5% that succeed—and what makes them different.

Our Point of View

AI is not an experiment. It’s a business transformation journey. The companies that succeed treat AI as adoption-first, not pilot-first.

At Altimetrik, this is what we enable:

  • Focusing on Adoption
    We don’t stop at pilots. We design AI solutions that are enterprise-ready from day one, built for scale and adoption.
  • Bridging OpenAI Innovation with Enterprise Reality
    As an OpenAI services partner, we connect the latest innovations to business-critical workflows—securely, responsibly, and at speed.
  • Smarter. Faster. Bolder.
    • Smarter: AI grounded in enterprise data, not demos.
    • Faster: Lightweight interventions that accelerate adoption.
    • Bolder: Solutions aligned to outcomes, not experiments.

The Bottom Line

AI isn’t failing - pilots are. The difference between being part of the 95% or the 5% comes down to mindset and execution.

At Altimetrik, we help enterprises move beyond pilots to true adoption.

95% fail. Be the 5%. Ask us how.
