Overview
- McKinsey reports 62% of companies experimented with agentic AI in 2025 and 23% began scaling, yet only 39% saw a positive impact on earnings.
- Analysts warn the pilot phase is a trap without redesigned workflows and human‑in‑the‑loop validation to make agents reliable at scale.
- A GfK DAM study finds less than 0.25% of AI‑assisted queries lead to visits to news sites, signaling a steep zero‑click squeeze on publisher traffic.
- Argentina’s first national survey on AI adoption shows 45.5% use tools for personal needs, with sharp gaps by age, education and income, and one in five trying chatbots for conversation or support.
- Research in Spain estimates 18–22% of jobs are exposed to AI—especially writing, research and translation—while experts caution about attention decline, mental‑health risks and weak confidence in regulation.
