Gartner Expects 40% of Agentic AI Projects Canceled by 2027 as ROI Cases Expire

Gartner projects 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027, and the business cases behind them may expire sooner. The post illustrates with a typical scenario: an engineering leader approves hiring five engineers, building an internal AI platform, and reorganizing two teams, betting that AI-assisted development boosts capacity without proportional headcount growth. Six months in, developers produce more code but delivery isn't faster—pull requests take longer to review, CI queues keep growing, and security teams face more changes requiring verification, with downstream bottlenecks eating the capacity gains.
