Generative AI is now table stakes for every major enterprise, but which companies use it best to drive results?

To answer that, Fortune Media partnered with ETR to create the inaugural Fortune AIQ 50, a data-driven ranking of Fortune 500 companies leading the way in measurable AI impact. The project, sponsored by ServiceNow, is the first to benchmark not just those experimenting with AI but also those transforming their business with it.

A new benchmark for enterprise AI

The Fortune AIQ 50 combines qualitative insight with quantitative rigor. Drawing from ETR’s enterprise technology research and survey data, the list identifies companies demonstrating clear leadership in AI adoption, governance, and measurable business outcomes.

This collaboration marks the start of an annual effort to track how the largest U.S. corporations evolve from AI pilots to AI performance and how their strategies shape competitive advantage across industries.

Who’s leading the AI revolution?

The 2025 list features a mix of technology trailblazers and unexpected leaders from traditional sectors. Alphabet, Visa, JPMorgan Chase, NVIDIA, and Mastercard headline the top 10, joined by companies like Coca-Cola, ExxonMobil, Amazon, Ecolab, and WESCO International.

While the diversity proves that AI maturity spreads beyond the technology and finance industries, finance and technology firms dominate the list, each contributing eight companies, while energy, healthcare, and industrials also make strong showings. Geographically, the leaders span 40 cities across 20 states, with California home to the highest number of honorees. Nine of the 50 companies are led by women CEOs, a signal of growing diversity among AI decision makers.

Why it matters?

As AI adoption accelerates, the Fortune AIQ 50 offers a new lens for understanding how large enterprises are operationalizing AI, moving from hype to measurable impact. It also reflects a growing need among executives and investors for credible, independent insights into where AI maturity positively impacts their business.

For ETR, this project underscores our mission: to bring data-driven clarity to the technology trends shaping global enterprises. Partnering with Fortune Media ensures that our research helps inform one of the most consequential conversations in business today: how to turn AI investment into AI-driven results.
