Enterprise AI budgets drained with no ROI: Where's the problem?
annetgriffin · x · 2026-08-24
Many companies maxed out AI budgets earlier this year but saw no payoff due to a lack of strategy.
- Companies must understand what makes sense for AI and which models to use before throwing more money at it.
- Adoption hurdles: Enterprise AI adoption is more of a change management problem than an AI problem. It is also an agency problem, as many orgs aren't set up to support high-agency people.
- Execs feel board pressure while trying not to light money on fire with little ROI.
