Nearly half of agentic AI projects will be killed by '27 due to hype, costs, and risks
Briefly

Gartner estimates that more than 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027, with rising costs and unclear value as major factors. The percentage of canceled projects has increased since the previous year, where it was projected that 30% of generative AI projects would be abandoned post-proof of concept. A Gartner poll also indicates varying levels of investment in agentic AI among organizations, while predictions suggest a growing push for implementation within Global 2000 businesses, focusing on automation and productivity enhancement. However, many projects struggle with clear success metrics and often stem from fear of missing out on technological advancements.
