Is your company pouring money into AI with nothing to show for it? You are not alone.

A shocking 95% of companies investing in AI are failing to see any return on their investment. The "AI Competence Mirage" is costing businesses millions, and executives are falling for it. In this episode of "Make an IIIMPACT," we expose the hard truths about the current state of AI and why most so-called "AI" is nothing more than a flashy demo.

Join hosts Makoto Kern and Brynley Evans, part of the IIIMPACT AI / UX Integration team as they pull back the curtain on the AI hype. Discover why your expensive enterprise AI contract might just be a wrapper for a free tool like ChatGPT, and why this is a recipe for disaster. We dissect the common patterns of AI failure, from chasing features over substance to the dangers of generic, one-size-fits-all solutions.

But it's not all doom and gloom. We also reveal the secrets to successful AI integration. Learn how to build a real, sustainable competitive advantage with domain-specific AI infrastructure. We provide a framework of critical questions every leader must ask before investing in any AI project, ensuring you're building a future-proof foundation for your business, not an illusion.
