This Week’s ContrarianThis week, the hot take comes from entrepreneur and AI pioneer Chase W. Hughes, who argues that most enterprise AI pilots don’t fail because of bad technology, poor models or weak prompts. “I roll out AI pilots in my company quite frequently, and I also roll out AI pilots in other companies quite frequently. However, I don’t believe enterprise AI pilots fail primarily because employees quietly want them to fail. Most AI pilots launch without a business number attached, so there is nothing to defend when the quarter gets busy. The real story isn’t that people want enterprise AI pilots to fail—it’s that organisations often underestimate how much organizational change successful AI adoption requires.
