Why AI isn’t showing up on your bottom line
Welcome to Exponential View, the show where I explore how exponential technologies such as AI are reshaping our future. I’ve been studying AI and exponential technologies at the frontier for over ten years.
Each week, I share some of my analysis or speak with an expert guest to make light of a particular topic.

More than three years after ChatGPT's release, only 27% of executives say AI has met their ROI expectations. The history of factory electrification explains why — most companies are at the light-bulb stage, adding Copilot licenses rather than reconceptualizing their businesses around AI. In this episode I map the three stages of AI adoption, and show what it actually takes to move from chatbots to the autonomous company — the only stage where the moat becomes real.
I covered:
(01:40) Ford's electricity playbook: why AI adoption needs a complete rethink
(03:51) The congestion problem: why AI gains stall
(05:45) Chatbot to autonomous company: your three-stage roadmap
(06:40) Why individual productivity gains won't build a moat — and what will
(10:17) Which companies are getting AI transformation right
(14:12) My 2029 AI adoption forecast — and how to stay ahead
