Abstract: With so much excitement and hype around AI, we pursued research that would help leaders make sense of the chaos and understand how enterprises create value with AI. This briefing describes the MIT CISR Enterprise AI Maturity model, which depicts four stages of enterprise AI maturity we identified based on a 2022 MIT CISR survey of 721 companies. We found that financial performance improved at each stage, and we pinpointed capabilities an enterprise needs as it progresses through the stages.
