Why enterprises lag in adopting AI (and why this time is different)

When the internet went mainstream in the 90s, enterprises didn’t catch up until the 2010s with cloud. That’s a 20+ year lag.

With AI, we can’t afford the same delay. The adoption curve will be faster, and enterprises that hesitate risk being left behind.

I’ve been on both sides: building technology and helping enterprises adopt it. What I see is a gap:

Enterprises know AI matters, but don’t know where to start.

Entrepreneurs want to sell into enterprises, but don’t understand how they adopt tech.

This is why I launched AI 4 Enterprise — to bridge the gap between AI innovation and enterprise adoption.

Would love to hear from this community: What do you think is the biggest reason enterprises lag — is it regulation, risk appetite, or culture?
