Microsoft's $2.5B AI Bet: Genius or Mistake?

About this episode

Jaeden and Conor dig into Microsoft’s $2.5B AI investment and its new 6,000-person implementation unit, and Conor shares his spicy take on why throwing money and systems at AI often misses the real problem. They break down why most AI pilots fail to drive adoption, why resistance to change (not the technology) is the real bottleneck, and how leaders can actually ignite enthusiasm and get people using AI at the individual level.
