The original report is still up (linked to by a sibling) and says this:

> By some estimates, more than 80 percent of AI projects fail — twice the rate of failure for information technology projects that do not involve AI.

Also, given how early in the hype cycle we are, there are a lot of projects that haven't failed yet but will likely fail in the end.

And in a hype cycle many many more projects get off the ground that normally, outside of a hype cycle, wouldn't have ever received the requisite funding.
