Why Aren't You Seeing AI Productivity Gains? (What Regulated Leaders Know About the Productivity Paradox) | AI For Executives

Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, neuroscience-based leadership consultant and Forbes Coaches Council member, answers: Why aren't companies seeing AI productivity gains? A brand new NBER study of 6,000 CEOs across US, UK, Germany, and Australia found 90% report AI has had NO productivity impact — despite 70% actively using it and billions invested. This is Solow's Productivity Paradox repeating. And your nervous system response to it determines everything.

Forbes Friday. Season 4, Episode 4.

The J-curve pattern: → Phase 1: Investment (costs up, productivity dips) ← WE ARE HERE → Phase 2: Adjustment (workflows breaking, productivity flat) → Phase 3: Breakthrough (productivity surge) ← 2030-2035

Dysregulated leaders: panic, use AI washing, abandon investments prematurely. Regulated leaders: name the J-curve, make complementary changes, measure readiness not instant ROI.
