"AI" still not giving returns

Futurism: Majority of CEOs Alarmed as AI Delivers No Financial Returns.

According to a recent survey by professional services network PwC, more than half of the 4,454 CEO respondents said “their companies aren’t yet seeing a financial return from investments in AI.”

That article is a cynical take on Business Chief: Is ROI on AI Investment the CEO's Biggest Challenge? which takes the "if flushing money down the toilet isn't giving you a return you're not flushing enough of it, or you're doing it wrong" tack.
