About this session

AI adoption is accelerating, but the economics are starting to strain. This week, one company (rumored to be Amazon AWS) spent half a billion on AI in a single month after failing to put usage limits on Claude for employees. This is an extreme cause, but the sentiment remains. Organizations are swinging from tokenmaxxing to AI efficiency. Sunita can connect what is happening at the infrastructure level to what enterprises are doing in practice including early moves toward on-prem deployments and more selective use of AI in production. She'll share examples she is seeing of where companies are successfully scaling back AI spend while still using AI to add value.
