summary
Goldman Sachs reports that only 6.1% of U.S. companies are adopting AI by Q4 2024, with industries like banking and insurance leading the way. The semiconductor sector is expected to see significant growth, while small businesses face challenges in AI integration.
According to a recent report from Goldman Sachs, the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in U.S. companies remains sluggish, with only 6.1% of businesses expected to integrate AI by the fourth quarter of 2024. This marks a slight increase from 5.9% in the previous quarter, highlighting the gradual pace of AI implementation despite its potential to revolutionize industries.

The report outlines how AI adoption varies across different sectors. While industries like information technology, education, and manufacturing have seen a decline in adoption, the banking and insurance sectors are at the forefront of AI integration. Large enterprises, particularly those with over 250 employees, have an AI adoption rate of 10%, a notable increase from smaller firms.
Goldman Sachs projects that the rate of AI adoption will continue to rise in the coming months, driven by larger organizations that have the resources to experiment with AI technologies. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to struggle with integrating AI, particularly when it comes to cybersecurity and identifying suitable use cases for the technology.
The report also highlights the significant productivity benefits that industries leveraging generative AI have seen. For instance, academic research output has increased by 23%, and in some cases, productivity gains have reached as high as 30%. This underlines the potential of AI to improve efficiency and streamline operations in diverse fields.
In the semiconductor industry, AI investment is expected to see substantial growth. Goldman Sachs analysts predict that by the end of 2025, sales growth in the sector will reach 37%. Additionally, the market for AI hardware is forecast to grow to $139 billion, with the semiconductor market overall projected to reach $187 billion, together accounting for approximately 1.2% of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This surge in AI-related investment is largely driven by the success of AI tools like ChatGPT, which has sparked significant revenue expectations across various tech industries.
The Goldman Sachs report provides a clear snapshot of the current state of AI adoption in U.S. businesses, underscoring the slow pace of widespread integration while highlighting pockets of rapid development in certain sectors.
