Consulting Firms Evaluate AI Agents' Value
8.1
McKinsey, PwC, EY, and BCG have deployed thousands of internal AI agents over the past year and are now measuring their business impact. Firms report metrics such as time saved (McKinsey plans one agent per 40,000 employees), human adoption rates, productivity gains (BCG cites 15% less time on low-value tasks), and how saved time is reinvested into higher-value work.
Key Points

- 3Reinvested time: firms say ~70% goes to higher-value work while ~30% becomes employee leisure
