Gartner: Over 40% of Agentic AI Projects to Be Canceled by 2027
…………….

Over 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027 due to rising costs and uncertain business value, according to a new report from Gartner. Despite major investments from firms like Salesforce and Oracle, many initiatives are still in early experimental stages and often misapplied.

Gartner warns of “agent washing,” where basic AI tools are marketed as autonomous systems, with only 130 of thousands of vendors offering genuine agentic capabilities.

While adoption is growing, current models lack the maturity to achieve complex goals. By 2028, Gartner expects 15% of workplace decisions and 33% of enterprise apps to involve agentic AI.
