Key takeaway
DataCamp's 2026 research shows that the bottleneck in AI value is not generating outputs — it is evaluating them. Organizations with structured evaluation skills see nearly double the AI ROI. The skill is not 'how to prompt better' but 'how to judge whether this output is trustworthy enough to act on.'
