Old National: AI adoption stalls among smallest US businesses

By Public Technologies
  • Small businesses face financial risks from AI automation without spending limits, explicit permissions or shutdown controls, an October 29, 2026, analysis warned.
  • AI adoption remained below 20% among businesses with four or fewer employees, compared with 37% at firms employing at least 250.
  • Usage at firms with fewer than 20 employees showed no meaningful change over six months, lagging growth among larger businesses.
  • Nearly two-thirds of organizations surveyed reported agent-related incidents over 12 months; 35% of those incidents involved financial losses.
  • Only 5% of companies had critical controls in place, although 42% expected AI agents to operate autonomously by 2030.
