Overview
- BCG finds only 5% of companies are “future‑ready” in AI, with leaders reporting 1.7x revenue growth, 3.6x higher three‑year TSR and 1.6x EBIT margins versus laggards, propelled by early moves into agentic systems.
- Agentic AI already accounts for an estimated 17% of total AI value in 2025 and could reach 29% by 2028, with leading firms allocating about 15% of their AI budgets to these systems.
- In Mexico, 64% of employers expect to cut entry‑level hiring over the next three years due to AI, while firms prioritize technical certifications and critical thinking; only 5% call a university degree indispensable for junior roles.
- Microsoft Research’s Copilot usage data indicates information‑processing occupations—such as interpreters/translators, reporters and customer agents—are most exposed, whereas roles requiring physical presence or manual dexterity are less affected.
- A regional study shows Latin American users now craft detailed, contextual prompts for practical and expert guidance, as Elon Musk projects work could become optional in 10–20 years and announces an xAI–Humain AI 500‑MW data‑center plan using Nvidia chips.
