UK businesses drastically overestimate their AI progress

A recent study conducted in the UK by EXL revealed significant insights about enterprise AI in 2026. The study indicates that a majority of companies believe they have a competitive edge in AI technology; however, only a small percentage have achieved substantial results at scale. This suggests a discrepancy between perception and actual implementation of AI strategies among businesses in the UK. The study underlines the need for companies to focus on effectively translating their AI initiatives into tangible outcomes to truly harness the potential benefits of the technology.
