Gary Marcus: Corporate AI Adoption is Driven by FOMO, Not Actual Results
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-08-13
AI researcher Gary Marcus criticized the current landscape of enterprise AI adoption, arguing that companies are integrating AI primarily out of the "fear of missing out" (FOMO) rather than tangible business results.
He used this observation to counter the narrative that we have already achieved AGI, suggesting that if true AGI existed, corporate adoption would be driven by undeniable value rather than hype and bandwagon effects.
