AI is moving from promise to tangible results across corporate America.
The percentage of S&P 500 companies citing quantitative benefits from implementing AI has steadily increased, reaching 15% in the third quarter, up from 11% a year earlier, according to new data from Morgan Stanley.
Among companies that analysts classify as “AI-enabled companies,” nearly one in four companies report measurable performance improvements.
Technology leads the pack: 39% of technology companies highlight quantitative advances in AI, up from 26% last year.
Communication services (26%) and finance (16%) followed, while energy companies rose from 0% to 10%.
As adoption expands, more sectors are beginning to see measurable benefits from AI, marking a new phase of real-world business impact.
