What's happening

Harvard Business Review argues that agentic AI could transform procurement. MIT Technology Review says organizations are rapidly adopting agents but struggle to get ROI without the right infrastructure and trustworthy data. Reddit posts in r/artificial highlight that Retail and CPG companies increasingly have data, models and GenAI tools yet still fail to convert AI investment into measurable business outcomes, and that the most advanced models can be a poor business move because of cost and misaligned incentives.
