Models that work in pilots collapse when confronted with outdated infrastructure and incompatible data. In fact, a new study from MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to deliver measurable ROI not because the algorithms are flawed, but because they’re poorly integrated and rarely aligned with real-world workflows.
