American firms are quickly outpacing their international counterparts at getting their employees to use AI. As reward for their efforts, they are also running up a monstrous bill, with lavish outlays on token costs, proprietary AI platforms, and just plain goofs, sometimes worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Corporate America has set itself a goal to comprehensively integrate AI across its employees’ workflows, and by some measures, their efforts have been a wild success. Around half of U.S. workers now use AI in their roles at least a few times a year, up from less than 40% a year ago, according to recent Gallup polling.
