Overview

  • Gartner analysts forecast that more than 40% of current KI-Agenten initiatives will be halted within two years due to steep expenses, limited returns and insufficient risk controls.
  • Only about 130 of over 1,000 agentic AI tools under development actually deliver on their promised autonomous capabilities.
  • Major technology firms including IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and Meta plan to expand KI-Agenten deployment, and Bloomberg Intelligence estimates up to 200,000 banking roles and tens of thousands of corporate jobs could be displaced.
  • Businesses frequently underestimate the complexity and expense of scaling KI-Agenten beyond experimental phases, contributing to high abandonment rates.
  • Despite early setbacks, Gartner projects that KI-Agenten will shape 15% of daily business decisions and feature in a third of enterprise software solutions by 2028.
