So what

AI cost is now a management problem, not a technology footnote: 93% of surveyed organisations have exceeded their AI budgets as 62% move into active deployment. Consumption-based pricing makes spend scale with usage faster than value is proven. CIOs and CFOs who instil cost accountability and redirect savings could cut AI costs by 20–30%.
