About this listen
Most AI pilots never deliver real financial impact.
In fact, research from MIT suggests that 95% of AI pilots fail to accelerate revenue.
So what separates organizations experimenting with AI from the ones actually seeing measurable results?
In this episode of Extropy on Air, Kevin Zirkle sits down with Adam Lustig from Basware to explore what is really happening inside finance organizations as AI adoption accelerates.
The conversation highlights an important shift: moving from AI that simply generates insights to AI that actually executes work.
Together they discuss:
• Why many AI pilots stall before delivering value
• How agentic AI is transforming accounts payable operations
• Why AP is one of the most successful entry points for AI adoption
• The difference between AI that informs work and AI that performs work
• How governance enables organizations to scale AI responsibly
• The buy vs. build decision many finance leaders face when deploying AI
One theme came up again and again throughout the discussion:
Execution beats experimentation.
For finance leaders exploring AI, this episode offers a grounded look at what it actually takes to move from pilots to measurable operational impact.
