Most executives are treating AI like the next SaaS platform, a thing that you could buy, deploy and measure. That framing, in my opinion, is the single biggest reason enterprise AI initiatives are failing. MIT's Nanda study of 300 enterprise AI deployments found that 95% of generative AI pilots fail to deliver measurable P and L impact. The root cause is not model quality. It is adoption and integration. The reason is that AI is not a product. It is something much weirder.
