Why AI Project Failures Will Dominate 2025—And How to Avoid Them

Based on insights from: “Why This CEO Believes AI Failures Will Dominate The Headlines In 2025” by Kolawole Samuel Adebayo, Forbes

As AI adoption accelerates, a new wave of projects is crashing into the same wall: execution failure.

In a recent Forbes article, author Kolawole Samuel Adebayo highlights why AI headlines in 2025 won’t be dominated by success stories, but by failure reports. His piece features CEO perspectives warning that “overhyped expectations,” “undertrained talent,” and “lack of deployment strategy” are setting thousands of ventures up to disappoint.

At Prompt Works, we’ve seen these problems firsthand—and we’re solving them.

💡 Why So Many AI Projects Fail

According to the article, these 3 root causes dominate most AI breakdowns:

1. Founders overestimate AI’s plug-and-play readiness.

   Entrepreneurs often treat ChatGPT outputs as finished plans instead of raw inputs. This leads to half-baked apps, chaotic integrations, and confusing UX.

2. Execution talent isn’t matched to real-world deliverables.

   Hiring on generic platforms like Fiverr or Upwork makes it hard to find builders who understand AI-first challenges (like model integration, data validation, or productizing outputs).

3. No clear ‘go-to-market’ plan for the AI layer.

   Many AI ideas get stuck between a flashy demo and a functional MVP.
