Why Most AI Projects Will Fail — And How to Find the Companies That Won't
About this episode
Steve Lucas discusses the challenges facing AI projects and how to identify successful companies in the AI space.
ROI supersedes AI. That's the blunt verdict from Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO of Boomi, who has spent 30 years at the top of enterprise software.

Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren sits down with Steve to unpack what Wall Street is missing: why the next wave of AI winners won't be the flashy model makers, how to spot the difference between a real AI strategy and expensive spin, and the single metric that separates transformative technology from hype.
