Why 87% of AI Projects Fail—and How Alejandro’s SVCH Is Changing That | Ep 266 with Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia – Co-Founder SVCH


Listen Later

In this episode of Founder’s Story, Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia joins to discuss how Silicon Valley Certification Hub (SVCH) is bringing standards and trust to AI adoption worldwide. From his perspective inside Silicon Valley, Alejandro reveals why executives—not technology—are the primary reason AI fails within organizations, and why SVCH’s certification is becoming the gold standard for responsible, strategic AI use.

Key Discussion Points:

Alejandro explains why 87% of corporate AI projects fail before they ever scale. He outlines the three levels of AI adoption—strategy, operations, and ethics—and why so many executives focus on the wrong layer. He shares insights into why “AI everywhere” doesn’t always translate to innovation and how SVCH certifies organizations in a way that signals trust to investors, partners, and customers. We also explore the hidden truth that few in Silicon Valley admit about AI adoption and why the companies that treat AI as the new electricity are the ones most likely to thrive. Alejandro also touches on surprising research that shows why people often trust chatbots more when they sound like robots rather than humans.

Takeaways:

The conversation highlights that AI fails in corporations because of people, not because of the technology itself. Executives must embrace and guide adoption for real change to happen. Standards and certifications like SVCH are going to be critical as AI becomes as commonplace as electricity. The businesses that win won’t simply add “AI” to a pitch deck but will build strategies that integrate talent, culture, and ethics. Trust will define the next era of AI, and those who can prove responsible adoption will attract investors, clients, and partners.

Closing Thoughts:

Alejandro Cuauhtemoc-Mejia is on a mission to make AI adoption trustworthy, strategic, and impactful. With SVCH’s seal of certification, businesses can show the world they’re ready for the AI-powered future—one built on standards, trust, and real results.
