Deloitte: 46% of CFOs cite AI cost uncertainty as their top internal AI concern

The substance sits in the quoted thread: citing a Deloitte analysis, 46% of CFOs rank cost uncertainty or lack of transparency as their leading internal AI concern — ahead of low confidence in key operations (35%), employee resistance or insufficient fluency (33%), hallucinations (29%), shadow AI (28%) and rogue AI (27%). The ranking signals AI has moved beyond innovation budgets into operating-cost accountability.
The author adds that consumption-based pricing makes AI spend track prompts, agent calls, retries, model choices, data retrieval and workflow volume — hard to account for and easy to misallocate. The reposter also tacked on his own influencer rankings (self-promotional).
