Entrepreneurs’ Response To AI: ‘Show Us The Money’

EY’s survey of 500 established US entrepreneurs shows most have already adopted AI in some form.

They expect AI to lift revenue, reduce costs and improve customer experience, with use spanning sales, marketing and operations.

More than a third have cut tech spending, and many say scaling AI is still blocked by data readiness, integration, talent and security.

Instead of replacing workers, entrepreneurs plan to redesign roles, hire AI and digital talent, and reskill existing staff.
