NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
As they enter the last stretch of 2025, CIOs are looking back at AI adoption efforts with a close eye on how much they’ve spent.
Many aren’t pleased, as AI costs have proven difficult to estimate — and sometimes impossible to justify. For others, early productivity gains show that more investment is needed, since spending will eventually come back in the form of higher revenues or reduced operational overhead.
ROI on AI is an ongoing concern as the technology evolves and vendors expand their product lineups. In this special newsletter edition, we’ve compiled a collection of stories focused on how leaders are grappling with AI adoption and the associated costs.
Thank you for your readership,
