Global AI Pulse Q3 2026
From adoption to accountability and resilience
KPMG’s Q3 pulse reveals that AI is no longer an emerging technology initiative.
As organisations rapidly move from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment, AI maturity is rising and investment continues to grow. The focus now is on building the capabilities required to embed AI into core business operations – and that requires accountability.
Organisations are building new systems for governance, accountability, orchestration, cybersecurity, workforce integration, and value measurement. It's no longer just about AI value, it’s about AI management.
Operating models, controls, leadership structures, and governance disciplines are being created to allow AI to scale safely, responsibly, and profitably across the enterprise.

Global AI Pulse Q2 2026
From deployment to value realisation
KPMG’s Q2 2025 AI Pulse reveals that confidence in AI continues to rise and spending remains steady. As organisations move from experimentation toward broader deployment, they are shifting their focus from deployment toward accountability, AI economics and value.
While many organisations are realising benefits, established ROI remains limited. The findings suggest a shift towards pragmatism, moving past theoretical questions and into practical ones: where is AI creating value, who owns the outcomes and how is it changing work
Leaders are recognising that scaling AI is not only a technology or investment challenge. It is also a challenge of people, workflows and operational — including economic — discipline.
Global AI Pulse Q1 2026
From adoption to orchestration
KPMG’s first AI Pulse for 2026 reveals that business leaders are shifting from viewing AI as a short-term productivity tool to treating it as a long-term enabler of enterprise-wide transformation.
While investment continues to accelerate, real value depends less on how much AI is deployed, and more on how well it is governed, integrated and operated across an organisation.
