' 71% of Global Businesses Have Accelerated AI Adoption Amid Tariffs, Inflation and Uncertainty'
According to Supply Chain’s Big Bet on AI For Geopolitical
Resilience, a new global study from Economist Impact, commissioned by Kinaxis Inc.
, while 71% of companies have accelerated AI deployment in response to tariffs,
inflation, and geopolitical volatility, a wide gap remains between AI ambition
and implementation, according to Economist Impact.
Nearly every company (97%) is experimenting with AI, but only
20% can make real-time decisions, and just 22% have a defined AI strategy, and
those with one are more than three times as likely to see measurable ROI.
Moreover, while business leaders tend to underestimate the new risks and
complexities that AI may introduce, staff are more focused on the practical
realities with the effort, change management, and technical challenges involved
in turning AI ambition into everyday impact.
“Disruption is no longer cyclical, it’s structural, and AI
has become the defining accelerator of adaptability,” said Fab Brasca, Senior
Vice President, Market Strategy and Product Management at Kinaxis. “In a world
of constant geopolitical and economic turbulence, companies cannot afford to
experiment in isolation or chase hype. Those that orchestrate intelligence
across the enterprise, by turning data into continuous decisions, will convert
volatility into advantage.”
