Almost four in five businesses will use AI this year. One in four will see a positive return. The interesting talk is about the other three.
Rob Petersen brings research, case studies and a six-step framework to New Canaan Library, going past the hype to what AI is and is not currently delivering inside real organisations — where the money goes, where the pitfalls sit, and what separates the projects that pay for themselves from the ones that quietly do not. Useful whether your company is already deep in it, still deciding, or you are simply curious.
