MIT’s State of AI in Business 2025 report found that 95% of generative AI pilot projects fail to deliver a measurable return on investment. When findings like this drop, they spread fast - sparking debate, reshaping narratives, and influencing how companies, investors, and even public policymakers think about AI’s real-world impact.

So what does MIT’s and other recent reports actually tell us about the position of the AI industry and tech sovereignty? Is it a sobering reality check, meaningless noise, or something else entirely?

Also on today’s episode: We’ll be backing our brothers and sisters in Europe, asking if ChatGPT has reached its category peak and talking about a man of many tech and finance moments, Hermann Hauser
