Over 30% GenAI projects won’t survive beyond proof of concept: Gartner

Out of all the projects being undertaken currently in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), around 30 per cent are bound to be dropped by the end of 2025, owing to issues such as poor data quality, inadequate risk controls, escalating costs or unclear business value, according to a report by Gartner.

“After last year’s hype, executives are impatient to see returns on GenAI investments, yet organisations are struggling to prove and realise value. As the scope of initiatives widens, the financial burden of developing and deploying GenAI models is increasingly felt,” said Rita Sallam, distinguished VP analyst, Gartner.
