MIT Tech Review AI's report points to a looming implementation crisis where AI's theoretical ROI crashes into the reality of corporate data debt. The analysis suggests that the industry's intense focus on more capable models may be premature for most enterprises, which appear to lack the foundational data layer to utilize them effectively. In our view, this creates a bifurcated market: a handful of data-mature leaders will accelerate, while the majority face a costly, multi-year data modernization grind before their agents can deliver. The real competition may shift from who has the best AI to who can untangle their data fastest.
