Fortune AIQ 50
The Fortune AIQ 50 ranking draws on ServiceNow’s Enterprise AI Maturity Index, an annual framework that benchmarks how prepared organizations are to adopt and scale AI across the public and private sectors—from governance and data foundations to automation and workflows. To ground the list in comparable, real‑world evidence, Fortune partnered with Enterprise Technology Research (ETR) to evaluate how Fortune 500 companies are actually deploying AI, and how technology leaders value those investments relative to industry peers. Those inputs were synthesized into a single AIQ score that determines each company’s placement, providing a consistent lens across sectors and sizes. Our ranking is a record of how 18 sectors across the Fortune 500, including financials, health care, and retailing, are utilizing AI to personalize customer experiences, provide groundbreaking data analysis, optimize supply chains, and more.

Fortune Ranking
Methodology
Fortune expanded upon the foundation introduced by ServiceNow’s Enterprise AI Maturity Index, which provided a framework for assessing AI readiness across organizations and is an annual deep dive into the state of AI usage in private and public sector companies worldwide. The methodology, outlined in the report, is available here.
Fortune also partnered with ETR to develop a methodology for evaluating Fortune 500 companies on their AI implementation, supported by an ETR-designed survey of technology leaders assessing both the value of their organizations’ AI investments and their impressions of AI adoption among peer companies in their sector. Survey responses were aggregated with prior ETR data from the past year, including the first seven questions adapted from ETR’s recurring “AI Product Series,” and the combined results were used to calculate the AIQ ranking score that serves as the basis for the final ranking. Polling was conducted from Aug. 29 to Sept. 19, 2025, with responses reviewed for data quality checks, resulting in a final sample of 165 respondents.
