After talking to 300 CEOs: enterprises spent a fortune on AI and nothing changed
vasuman · x · 2026-09-05
After speaking with over 300 CEOs, CIOs and CFOs at the world's largest companies, the author concludes that despite massive spending on AI, nothing has changed for most enterprises.
- The core problem: companies bolt AI onto existing processes instead of rebuilding workflows around it.
- Most enterprise AI projects remain stuck in pilots and never reach core business operations.
- The author frames these failures as the flip side of the opportunity for those who can actually integrate AI into business.
