   AI can be cyborg or centaur, but can enterprises monetize it?

   Satish Viswanathan, former Global Travel Data and AI Lead at Accenture, believes that enterprises focus excessively on model capabilities while neglecting their own capacity to absorb and use AI, which he calls "enterprise metabolism." He points out that token consumption does not equal revenue, and that time saved by AI does not automatically translate into financial returns; some enterprises have begun to "very wisely pause" and scale back AI investment. He also warns that cutting entry-level hiring is a disaster in the long run, and questions enterprises' misuse of "autonomous" to describe AI agents.
