- Organizations with AI strategies are twice as likely to see revenue growth from AI adoption.
- AI adoption is expected to generate a $32 billion annual impact in U.S. legal and CPA sectors.
- Thomson Reuters (TRI, Financial) invests $200 million annually in AI integration.
Thomson Reuters (TRI) has published its 2025 Future of Professionals report, highlighting a strategic advantage for organizations with well-defined AI strategies. The report reveals that these organizations are twice as likely to experience revenue growth from AI adoption compared to those without a defined strategy. However, only 22% of organizations have a visible AI strategy in place.
According to the study, AI is set to save professionals an estimated 5 hours weekly over the next year, leading to an annual value of approximately $19,000 per person. This efficiency could translate into a $32 billion annual opportunity for the U.S. legal and CPA sectors, with $20 billion attributed to the legal industry and $12 billion to the CPA industry.
Thomson Reuters is actively investing in the future of AI, committing $200 million annually to incorporate responsible AI into its products and services. This investment aligns with the company's AI and Data Ethics Principles, ensuring a focus on ethical AI development.
Despite these advancements, the report underscores a significant gap in AI adoption, as 3 in 10 professionals report slow organizational progress in AI integration, and 4 in 10 organizations are implementing AI without a strategic approach. The findings emphasize the essential role of strategic AI adoption for continued growth and competitiveness.
