About this listen
Most AI initiatives don’t fail because the models are weak - they fail because organizations never design for reality.
In this episode of Intelligent Insights, we unpack why 80 - 95% of enterprise AI pilots never make it to production, and what separates scalable AI systems from endless proof-of-concepts. Drawing from industry research and real-world engineering patterns, we explore the hidden blockers behind “pilot purgatory” — including verification tax, MLOps immaturity, technical debt, and misaligned incentives.
We break down a practical roadmap for scaling AI responsibly, starting with high-control, low-agency systems and gradually increasing autonomy as trust is earned. You’ll learn why Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) frameworks, disciplined data foundations, and cost-aware hosting strategies matter more than choosing the latest model.
This episode is not about hype. It’s about shipping AI that survives contact with production.
If you’re a product leader, engineer, founder, or executive trying to move AI from demos to durable business impact - this one’s for you.
