Enterprise AI budgets are growing faster than companies are turning experiments into operational systems, according to Beinsure’s analysis of Deloitte’s 2026 enterprise AI research. The article reports that 84% of surveyed organizations are increasing investment, but just 25% have put at least four in ten AI experiments into production. The research surveyed 3,235 business and technology leaders in 24 countries and included 15 executive and specialist interviews.
Reported benefits are more common in operational performance than sales. Beinsure says 66% of respondents report efficiency or productivity improvements, while 20% report revenue gains. By comparison, 74% identify revenue growth as an intended benefit. These percentages describe organizations reporting outcomes, not the monetary value of gains or their investment returns.
The article also highlights a mismatch between autonomous-agent ambitions and oversight: 74% plan agentic AI deployment within two years, while 21% describe their governance as mature. Meanwhile, 84% have not redesigned jobs around AI. Beinsure identifies integration, security, compliance and maintenance as obstacles to scaling pilots. Deployment forecasts remain respondents’ expectations rather than evidence of completed rollouts.
