The Old Software Moat Is Dead — How to Spot the Enterprise AI Companies That Are Actually Winning

from Motley Fool Money · host The Motley Fool

Most companies say they're doing AI. A surprising number are doing very little — and a Chief AI Officer at one of the world's largest automation platforms has the receipts to prove it. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Adam Field, Chief AI Officer at Tungsten Automation — a company serving 25,000 organizations including 40% of the Fortune 100 — about what separates real AI transformation from expensive spin. They get into why most enterprise AI pilots quietly die before they scale, what "boring AI" actually means and why it's the most important signal investors aren't paying attention to, and why the competitive moat that once made legacy software giants unassailable has effectively disappeared overnight.
