TL;DR: 95% of companies are seeing zero returns from their generative AI investments.
β
The implication: Confidence in AI initiatives is already declining among corporate leaders. Companies are spending billions and are essentially getting nothing in return.

Invest accordingly.
As always, thanks for reading and stay tuned for next week's edition!
