Hello! ☀️ Today, on the #5minpodcast, I’m talking about something we don’t discuss enough when it comes to AI: the bill. A team runs a proof of concept with artificial intelligence. The vendor gives them free credits. The pilot costs almost nothing. The results are impressive, and everyone in the steering committee is delighted. So the project gets approved. And then it goes into production. That’s when the invoice starts arriving. Every month. Forever. We talk a lot about what AI can do. We talk about capabilities, ethics, jobs, productivity, and transformation. All of these conversations are critical. But there is another question we need to ask much earlier: How much will this cost to run? 💸 🎧 Listen to my perspective in the full episode : https://ricardo-vargas.com/podcasts/ Adopting AI is not just a technology decision. It’s a financial commitment. Wishing you an insightful week ahead. ⚡ Ricardo #5minpodcast #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #ProjectManagement PM
