Malcolm Werchota exposes the shocking reality of corporate AI adoption: companies spending $1.5 million monthly on Copilot licenses while only 0.4% of employees actually use them. Through raw, unfiltered stories from Fortune 500 boardrooms to family businesses, Malcolm demolishes the top 10 excuses executives use to avoid real AI implementation - from "our data isn't ready" (while waiting 5 years for perfection) to "our employees are too old" (while his 77-year-old father runs five different AIs). This episode reveals why IT departments block AI to maintain control, why waiting for the "perfect solution" guarantees obsolescence, and how Chinese teenagers are disrupting entire industries while Western corporations debate strategy. The brutal truth: while you're making excuses, your competition is already automating.
→ The real AI adoption rate in corporations is 0.4-1%, not because employees reject AI, but because nobody shows them what they already have - 90% of employees WANT AI tools when asked
→ IT departments often block AI not for security reasons (your data is already in Microsoft's cloud), but from fear of losing control when employees become self-sufficient
→ Waiting for "perfect data" or the "perfect solution" is corporate suicide - AI changes monthly, and your 5-year data warehouse project will be obsolete before completion
