Enterprise AI - Why 90% Fail And What Actually Works

AI is everywhere right now—but here’s the reality most people aren’t hearing: Up to 90% of enterprise AI projects are failing.

In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening inside companies in 2026. You’ll learn how businesses are really using AI today, what’s working across departments like HR, finance, and IT—and why so many expensive AI initiatives are collapsing.

We also unpack one of the biggest shifts happening right now: the move from AI “copilots” to fully autonomous agents that can plan, execute, and make decisions with minimal human input.

But the biggest takeaway? The problem isn’t the technology—it’s people, processes, and messy data.

What you’ll learn:

•  Why most enterprise AI projects fail (and it’s not what you think) 
•  The difference between AI copilots and autonomous agents 
•  How AI is transforming HR, finance, legal, and operations 
•  What “AI generalists” are—and why they’re becoming critical 
•  The real reason employees are resisting (and even sabotaging) AI 
•  How successful companies are actually getting results 

If you’re trying to understand where AI is really headed—and how it might impact your job or business—this episode gives you a clear, practical view of what’s happening right now.

Big question to think about:
Is AI failing… or are companies just using it the wrong way?
