The Guardian says 90% of executives see no productivity gain from AI. The survey behind it looked back over the last 3 years, and the same executives predict a 1.4% boost.
The Guardian, in an analysis by Taylor Telford headlined 'Companies rushed in on AI. Now some are pulling back', dated 13 October 2026 ·

The number matches the survey. What the sentence drops is the time frame and the forecast, and nothing in the survey quotes in this record measures companies pulling back.

The number and the speaker check out: Brian Moynihan said it on CNBC. What spread is tidier than what he said. The flaws came from AI models including Mythos, and the cost was never split out.

Accenture announced it would train 30,000 people on Claude, then told many staff it will centrally fund $29 a month each. The cap is real. It is also a billing rule, not a ban.

As eight states sue OpenAI over ChatGPT's alleged harms, its own headline safety score is 91% on suicide conversations. OpenAI says that score came from a hard test set whose error rates are not representative of average production traffic.
OpenAI, in its post 'Strengthening ChatGPT's responses in sensitive conversations', 27 October 2025; now cited as Iowa and seven other states sue OpenAI ·
AI illustration
The 91% is real, and so is the 0.15% of weekly users OpenAI says show explicit suicide-planning indicators. What this record lacks is the rate that matters to the suits: how often ChatGPT misses in live conversations.
