How Businesses Are Scaling AI: Budgets, Procurement & Institutionalizing

In 2023, most companies were experimenting with AI. But in 2025, the largest enterprises have shifted from pilots to production-scale deployments and it's changing how they budget, procure, and operate.

In this video, I break down the latest data from McKinsey, Andreessen Horowitz, and Menlo Ventures showing:
- 49% of $5B+ companies are now scaling or fully scaled (vs. 17% still experimenting)
- Enterprise AI spending hit $8.4B in the first half of 2025 already 2.4x all of 2024
- Innovation budgets dropped from 24% to 7% as AI moves to permanent operational lines
- Procurement priorities shifted: accuracy is now table stakes, cost efficiency is the new differentiator
- 3rd-party AI applications are dominating production deployments across use cases
