AI’s rapid expansion presents CFOs with a budget dilemma: AI tokens or human talent. Escalating per-token costs are depleting annual AI budgets within months, forcing a choice between technology and personnel. Companies are re-evaluating the need for premium AI models for all tasks, as ROI currently lags behind expenditure. Optimizing model selection and routing less complex tasks to cheaper alternatives could significantly reduce costs. The market may underestimate AI’s price sensitivity.
