More than 90% companies have seen their AI investments failing and blame for this should go to …, says study

A new study has tried to reason the biggest complaint that majority of companies have with their AI investment — that they give zero return. A recent MIT study had put the figure of AI investment failures at 95%. Now a study from researchers at consulting company BetterUp Labs, in collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, has reasoned the AI failure with a new term — “workslop”. The study coins the new term to describe low-quality, AI-generated work: “Workslop.”

Published in the Harvard Business Review, the research highlights how Workslop may explain why 95% of organizations experimenting with AI report no return on investment.
