A 2026 survey indicated that over two-thirds of enterprises rely on estimates to assess AI's return on investment. Companies are increasingly using tools from Microsoft to monitor AI interactions, including active users and prompt volume. Despite this visibility, only 39% of firms report a measurable impact on earnings. The focus remains on group-level measurement rather than individual effectiveness, with challenges in proving AI's direct impact on productivity persisting across organizations.
