Measuring AI Value Beyond Cost | Business and Finance News

from The Daily News Now! Business

OpenAI’s CFO Sarah Friar is redefining AI success with a bold new metric: “useful intelligence per dollar.” Instead of obsessing over costs or tokens, she’s urging businesses to ask if AI is actually delivering meaningful work—and how efficiently. With companies grappling with skyrocketing AI bills, Friar’s framework zeroes in on four critical questions: Is AI completing important tasks? What’s the total cost—including human oversight? How often does it get it right the first time? And is value growing faster than cost as usage scales? The goal? Shift the focus from price tags to real-world impact.
