EP012: AI Pilot Failures: Why 95% Fail Despite $40B Investment

MIT research reveals a shocking truth: 95% of corporate AI pilots are failing completely, delivering zero measurable return on $30-40 billion in enterprise spending.

In this Feature Friday deep dive, we explore the "GenAI Divide" between the 5% of companies seeing transformative returns and the vast majority stuck in pilot purgatory.

Learn why vendor solutions succeed 3x more often than internal builds, why back-office automation beats flashy chatbots for ROI, and what separates companies like Lumen Technologies (saving $50M annually) from those burning cash on "wrappers and science projects." We examine the learning gap, shadow AI economy, and critical barriers from GPU costs to organizational inertia that determine whether your AI investment transforms or tanks.
