Consulting Firms Evaluate AI Agents' Value

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.
