Rahsaan Shears, AI enterprise transformation leader at KPMG US, says corporate America is shifting from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI deployment, driven by stronger governance and growing trust. She points to productivity gains, faster decision making, and the rise of multi-agent systems as evidence that leaders are pulling ahead of companies still stuck in pilot mode. She also notes that 74% of organizations now include cost reviews in their AI approval processes as scale makes cost discipline essential.
