We dismantle the widely cited 2025 “MIT Study” claiming 95% of generative AI pilots deliver no value, revealing it was neither from MIT nor a rigorous academic study. This episode breaks down the report’s tiny sample size, unrealistic success criteria, undisclosed author conflicts of interest, and how the misleading headline fueled an “AI is overhyped” narrative that influenced media, investors, and markets. Essential listening for AI executives, business leaders, investors, technologists, and policymakers seeking clarity on AI adoption data, hype cycles, and the risks of low-quality research shaping elite opinion.
