US Companies Reinvest AI Productivity Gains

The EY US AI Pulse Survey of 500 senior US decision-makers (fielded Sep 19–Oct 16, 2025) finds 96% of organizations investing in AI report productivity gains, with 57% calling them significant and only 17% reducing headcount. Respondents say they are mostly reinvesting gains into existing and new AI capabilities, cybersecurity, R&D and upskilling, and many plan to increase AI spending next year.
