PwC has forecast that the adoption of Artificial Intelligence(AI) will increase as top performing companies would realise ability to fulfill their business strategies in 2025.
According to PwC’s 2025 Business AI prediction report, company’s AI success will be as much about vision as adoption in 2025 prior to the 49 percent of technology leaders who integrated AI into their companies’ core business strategy, products and services in 2024.
“AI adoption is progressing at a rapid clip, across PwC and in clients in every sector. 2025 will bring significant advancements in quality, accuracy, capability and automation that will continue to compound on each other, accelerating toward a period of exponential growth,” Matt Wood, PwC US and Global Commercial Technology & Innovation Officer said in the report.
PwC highlighted that making AI intrinsic to the organization is vital, because creating new business models are only one source of game-changing AI value.

“With AI increasingly powerful and reliable, it’s time to embed it in your operational fabric. If you don’t, your competitors who do may establish lasting advantages,” the report added.
The company predicted that top performing companies will build platforms, e-commerce models and other internet-centered business models with AI the same way it was established decades ago.
“AI offers such transformative potential for new operational and business models, those that pull ahead of the pack — whether AI native companies or established companies that reinvent themselves quickly — will likely stay there. The growing gap between AI leaders and laggards will extend to economies too,” the report added.
The PwC Workforce Transformation Practice Leader, Anthony Abbatiello, added that “AI agents are set to revolutionise the workforce, blending human creativity with machine efficiency to unlock unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation.”
Abbatiello’s assertion in the report counters fears that the adoption of AI would lead to job losses. He affirmed that rather than shrink the workforce, employers were going to welcome a host of new members to the team this year: digital workers known as AI agents.
