Important claims and supporting citations
One year after the 82% intent figure, Capgemini's research found that only 2% of organizations had fully scaled agent deployment.
A 2024 Gartner report estimates that only 23% of organizations have successfully deployed AI agents in at least one business function.
A 2025 McKinsey survey reports that only 23% of organizations have scaled AI agents.
A 2025 McKinsey survey reports that 64% of organizations are piloting AI agents.
The Capgemini survey sample included 1,100 executives from organizations with over $1 billion in revenue across 14 countries and 11 industries, meaning it only represents large enterprises.
Executive trust in fully autonomous agents decreased from 43% to 27% within twelve months, according to Capgemini's 2025 report.
Only 18% of organizations surveyed in Capgemini's report have a clear roadmap for scaling AI agents across their enterprise.
Despite high future integration plans (82%), the Capgemini report found that the actual current deployment of AI agents remains low, indicating a significant gap between near-term intent and present-day enterprise implementation.
Competing explanations
McKinsey's insights suggest that many organizations are still in experimental phases with AI agents, with only a smaller percentage scaling up.
Outstanding questions
- OpenAI's public agent-like products and previews include tool-using assistants, Deep Research-style multi-step research, browser/computer-oriented agents (e.g., Operator-class demos), and developer surfaces like the Assistants API lineage and experimental multi-agent patterns such as Swarm.
- Gartner predicts that by 2026, 40% of large firms will utilize AI agents for process automation, a significant increase from less than 5% in 2023.
- McKinsey reported in 2024 that 20% of enterprises are piloting agentic AI for customer service automation, with early adopters observing approximately 30% efficiency gains.
- Anthropic’s Claude 3, released in March 2024, exhibits emergent planning abilities, with users reporting its autonomous task delegation in workflows such as document analysis.
- Google DeepMind’s SIMA, launched in March 2024, is a generalist AI agent trained to follow instructions in 3D environments, such as video games, indicating progress in embodied agency.
- Accenture highlights "agentic workflows" as a top trend for 2024, citing use cases such as diagnostic assistants in healthcare and contract review bots in the legal sector.
- Current agentic systems face scalability challenges, particularly with long-horizon planning, as MIT studies indicate approximately 60% task completion rates in uncontrolled environments.
- Anthropic’s research warns about the need for "sandboxed" agents to prevent undesired actions, such as unauthorized API calls, due to safety concerns.
