AI Adoption

95% of AI pilots fail to reach production. Not because the AI doesn't work - but because the last mile between demo and deployment is harder than anyone expects. Data integration, security, UX, compliance, and change management are where projects die.

A lawyer won Anthropic's hackathon - not a developer. Because the bottleneck moved. It used to be 'Can you code this?' Now it's 'Do you know what needs to be coded and why?' Lawyers are really, really good at that. Here's why this changes everything about who builds software.

You've bought the licenses. You've sent the announcement email. Three months later, usage is at 11%. AI adoption isn't a training problem - it's a habit problem. Based on analysis of dozens of successful Copilot deployments, here's what actually works.

Anthropic's research shows AI can handle 94% of computer workers' tasks - but only 33% are actually being performed by AI today. That 60-point gap isn't a looming catastrophe. It's years of transition time. The real problem might be that AI isn't replacing jobs fast enough.
