Dun & Bradstreet Global Survey of 10,000 Businesses Finds AI Impact at an Inflection PointMay 4, 2026 4:17 PM
PR Newswire (US) As Adoption Surges, Data Readiness Emerges as the Critical Bottleneck to Scale and ROIJACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 97 percent of organizations worldwide now report active AI initiatives, but only five percent say that their data is adequately ready to support them, according to a new AI Momentum Survey released today by Dun & Bradstreet. The survey results from Q1 and Q2 2026 show that AI adoption has reached an inflection point: 56 percent of organizations plan to increase AI investment over the next 12 months. At the same time, 60 percent of businesses now report at least some measurable ROI, including 24 percent reporting broad or strong returns. "The vast majority of businesses are already seeing some return from AI, and that's a meaningful milestone," said Cayetano Gea-Carrasco, Chief Strategy Officer at Dun & Bradstreet. "But the survey is clear about what's holding organizations back. The constraint is no longer the model; it is whether AI can operate verified continuously refreshed business identity across systems. Without that, output remains probabilistic, and ROI stays uneven. What enterprises need now is a deterministic foundation for AI decision-making."The survey suggests there is a structural gap in AI execution: while models can generate insights, they cannot reliably act without a consistent and verified understanding of the entities they operate on. These constraints are systemic, not incremental, and point to the need for a shared identity layer that resolves entities consistently across every system AI touches.Key findings:Adoption and investment are strong and accelerating:97% of organizations report active AI initiatives56% plan to increase AI investment in the next 12 months30% are scaling AI into production26% are operationalizing AI across multiple core processesReturns are emerging, but remain uneven:67% report seeing early signs or pockets of some ROI20% report multiple projects delivering ROI10% report strong ROI, with most organizations still generating partial or early-stage returnsData and infrastructure improvements should enhance ROI:Only 5% say their data is fully ready for AI50% cite limited data access as a leading obstacle44% identify privacy and compliance risks40% report data quality and integrity concerns38% point to a lack of integration across systems37% cite a shortage of skilled AI professionals10% express high confidence in their ability to identify and mitigate AI-related risksA Measurable Shift in SentimentThroughout 2025, most research showed that few enterprises were achieving meaningful financial returns from AI, despite widespread experimentation. D&B's survey results suggest that narrative is beginning to shift. Early returns are now far more common, with 60 percent of organizations reporting at least some measurable ROI, compared to the single-digit results that characterized the sentiment of much of 2025. In addition, the data readiness concern appears to be even more profound."AI agents will use enterprise platforms and data at a scale humans never did, continuously, across systems, customers, suppliers, and partners," said Gea-Carrasco. "That means every system an agent touches must agree on who the entity is. Our D-U-N-S® Number makes that possible. The companies that solve for verified business identity and context first will be the ones whose agents actually work."The D&B AI Momentum Survey is a quarterly global study of 10,000 businesses across 32 countries that tracks the pace and progress of enterprise AI adoption, investment and outcomes over time.About Dun & BradstreetDun & Bradstreet provides the verified commercial identity foundation for enterprises to deploy AI at scale.

train wreck in slow motion

On track for $30 next week or so. It's ok...take it!

Hopefully $30 by Friday for a quick exit.

I AM Innn. Just grabbed for a fast income. The company close to a BLUE

Time to load$$$

DNB on a bull run!!!$$$

Wrong!!! DNB$$$

No...D&B will have a huge downturn IMO. They are really selling out their integrity IMO in the last couple of years but it hasn't caught up with them yet.

Hmmm not too encouraging eh?

D & B is quickly losing the furniture biz references to Lyon's.

The first post here is going to start out on a sour note. I don't know if the chart will come back into line with strong earnings or not. I'm expecting D&B to roll in some BIG bucks over the next year or or so. I'm also expecting their chart to continue DOWN! Why you ask? It's a long and involved scenario. I'm also not up to typing that much right now! I will tell you now that D&B appears to be "stepping out" like a cheating spouse...IMO
