Creating AI value with enterprise context

An MIT Technology Review Insights poll found that while every surveyed organization uses AI to some degree, only 16% are extracting transformative value from their deployments, with 40% seeing moderate gains in specific tasks or teams and 23% seeing minimal or no returns. Most companies are still piloting AI use cases (38%) or using it to assist employees via tools like co-pilots or chat assistants (35%), while just 12% have AI agents in production. Atlan co-founder Prukalpa Sankar says the missing layer is context—architectural infrastructure between business systems and AI platforms that translates enterprise intelligence into governed, machine-usable context.
