Why AI Adoption Remains Slow Despite Business Hype

Economic factors help explain the slow adoption of artificial intelligence.

From Hacker News Original Article Hacker News Discussion

Despite widespread executive enthusiasm and many proclaimed AI use cases, the actual adoption of AI technologies in businesses remains slower than expected.

Why it matters: Slower AI spread means companies may be missing out on significant productivity and competitive gains.

The big picture: Economic factors and integration challenges often delay new technology adoption despite clear potential benefits.

The other side: Some argue AI adoption is rapid in some sectors, driven by hype and aggressive marketing rather than practical usefulness.

Commenters say: Opinions vary from skepticism about AI’s current utility and cost-effectiveness to recognition of its fast cultural adoption and future inequality risks.
