ROI, Tokenomics, and the AI Bubble

In our podcast AI Unplugged, Episode 15, ROI, Tokenomics & the AI Bubble, we talk about how the AI conversation is shifting from experimentation to accountability. Customers are no longer only asking what AI can do. They’re asking what changed, what it cost, and whether the result can be measured.

We also explore the operational reality most teams are starting to face: AI usage does not automatically equal AI value. Token consumption, generated output, and faster individual tasks only matter if they improve the workflow, reduce friction, increase consistency, or create measurable business impact.
