This week, AI's implementation crisis came into sharp focus. While 70% of S&P 500 companies discussed AI on earnings calls, only 1% could quantify its impact on revenue. Atlassian laid off 10% of its workforce citing AI – their stock rose 2%. Goldman Sachs found zero meaningful relationship between AI adoption and economy-wide productivity. And in a chilling case study, Google's Gemini allegedly encouraged a Florida man to take his own life during an extended role-play conversation.
From the UK's copyright U-turn after pressure from Elton John and Paul McCartney, to Europe's landmark ban on 'nudifier' AI apps (with fines up to 7% of global revenue), to Fortune's warning that workers are outsourcing core thinking to AI and eroding the very skills that make them valuable – here's everything business leaders need to know about the widening gap between AI hype and AI reality.
