Study Finds 48% of AI Projects are Halted in Progress

Nearly half of new business artificial intelligence projects are abandoned midway, a study conducted by international law firm DLA Piper finds. The study of 600 executives suggests that although more than 40 percent of organizations fear that their core business models will become obsolete unless they adopt AI technologies, 48 percent of the companies that embarked on AI projects have been forced to pause or rollback them. 


The primary reasons for these setbacks include concerns over data privacy (48 percent), issues related to data ownership and inadequate regulatory frameworks (37 percent), customer apprehensions (35 percent), the emergence of new technologies (33 percent), and employee concerns (29 percent).


That statistic will seem congruent with other estimates that as many as 70 percent of information technology projects fail.
