AccBalanced · x · 2026-08-15
Data from a16z reveals an extreme "long tail" distribution in enterprise AI adoption:
- Median companies: Spend just $12 per employee per month
- Top 1% companies: Spend as much as $7,500 per employee per month
Such a significant adoption gap is rarely seen in new tech trends, suggesting that while most companies are still observing, the top players are investing aggressively.
