Companies Reinvest AI Productivity Gains Into More Automation
CIODIVE, December 11,2025
In the search for greater ROI, businesses are using AI to further automate research and upskilling, according to EY.
Dive Brief:
AI-driven productivity gains are being used to further expand AI capabilities, research and talent development, according to EY's latest U.S. AI Pulse Survey. The company surveyed 500 U.S.-employed decision-makers across industries.
Most respondents said they are seeing productivity gains as a result of AI, with nearly half channeling this into enhancing AI capabilities. Crucially, only 17% said it has led to job loss.
To get ahead of competitors, businesses 'must invest in the humans who provide the creative spark and judgment that the models just can't replace,' Dan Diasio, EY global consulting AI leader, told CIO Dive.
