DetailsUber’s experience highlights a new enterprise AI challenge: adoption can scale faster than an organization’s ability to measure economic value. As companies move from AI pilots to widespread deployment, the question is no longer whether employees will use AI — it is whether every AI investment can justify its cost.

DetailsAchieving return on investment is impossible without knowing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an initiative — and when it comes to AI, CIOs are finding cost calculations anything but straightforward. Subscription and token costs are a big part of the calculus, but several other factors go into the cost of AI projects, says…
