SummaryWhy Most AI Projects Will Fail — And How to Find the Companies That Won't
4w ago00:26:49Summary readyROI supersedes AI. That's the blunt verdict from Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO of Boomi, who has spent 30 years at the top of enterprise software. With OpenAI burning $3 billion a month and Gartner projecting that up to 40% of enterprise AI projects will be abandoned by 2027, the blank-check era for AI spending is over — and the reckoning is coming faster than most investors realize. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren sits down with Steve to unpack what Wall Street is missing: why the next wave of AI winners won't be the flashy model makers, how to spot the difference between a real AI strategy and expensive spin, and the single metric that separates transformative technology from hype.
