Nearly half of governments to deploy AI at scale, but face execution hurdles: KPMG report

Governments across the world are preparing to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) at scale over the next year, but many are struggling to move beyond pilot projects due to structural and operational challenges, according to a latest report by KPMG.

The report titled “KPMG Global Tech Report 2026: Government and Public Sector” said that 48 per cent of government organisations plan to deploy AI use cases into production at scale within the next 12 months, even as 43 per cent admitted they are facing roadblocks in scaling their initiatives.
