About the Discussion

Everyone is talking about AI.
But inside enterprises, adoption is often much harder than the headlines suggest.
Across conversations with enterprise teams, AI consultants, founders, and software vendors in New York, one theme keeps appearing:
The technology is moving faster than organizations can adopt it.

Topics include:
• Why enterprise AI adoption is still difficult
• Common implementation and change-management challenges
• The gap between software vendors and enterprise users
• AI workflow discovery and internal education
