Artificial intelligence is no longer just a support tool in business, it is becoming a core driver of growth and efficiency. In this episode, we explore Google’s new report, The ROI of AI 2025: How Agents Are Unlocking the Next Wave of AI-Driven Business Value. The findings reveal a major shift from asking whether to use AI to focusing on how to scale it effectively. With companies now moving into the agentic era, AI agents are stepping up to perform real work and deliver measurable impact.
Listeners will hear surprising statistics and insights from the report. For example, 88 percent of early adopters are already seeing ROI from generative AI, and more than half of executives using AI have put agents into production. The report highlights where the biggest returns are happening, from productivity gains and customer experience improvements to marketing and security. You will also hear how companies are deploying agents across different industries, what role executive sponsorship plays in success, and why data privacy and system integration remain top concerns.
This episode matters because it shows the practical reality of AI adoption, not just the theory. Businesses that move quickly are pulling ahead, and the lessons from early adopters provide a clear picture of what it takes to see real value. Whether you are in leadership, strategy, or operations, understanding how AI agents are being used today can help you make better decisions about where to invest and how to prepare for the next stage of digital transformation.
