Artificial Intelligence has officially crossed the threshold from experimentation to enterprise-scale deployment — and the shift is redefining competitive advantage at a global level. In this episode of InteliDay by Lexinteli, Ethan Cole and Maya Thompson break down the core insights from Lexinteli’s Market Intelligence Report: Artificial Intelligence in Global — From Hype to Integration (2025) and translate them into a strategic roadmap for leaders navigating this new era.

The conversation explores why organizations worldwide are experiencing a widening AI integration gap: even as model performance accelerates, most enterprises struggle with fragmented data foundations, limited talent depth, unclear governance, and escalating infrastructure demands. Ethan and Maya unpack how these structural constraints are shaping adoption curves, operating models, and cross-border investment flows.

Listeners gain a clear view of:

• The global pivot from AI hype to ROI-driven integration

• Why 70%+ of enterprises remain stuck in pilot mode — and what unlocks full-scale deployment

• How rising CapEx, compute bottlenecks, and grid constraints are reshaping the AI value chain

• Where the real value is being captured: integration services, orchestration layers, and agentic automation

• Which regions are pulling ahead — and why sovereign AI strategies are now a competitive necessity

The episode closes with a forward-looking framework that executives can use to prioritize investments, accelerate integration, and build AI capabilities that scale sustainably through 2030.
