AI's Honeymoon Ends: 2026 Demands Real Value
Deutsche Bank boldly says what many are thinking: The honeymoon is over for AI. 2026 is likely to be a tough year, and AI will have to prove its value in 2026 to keep the money flowing. The prognosis is not good, and the report’s opening line sets the tone for disillusionment in 2026: “Generative AI will be transformative, but not right now. As pilots move into production, enterprise users are confronting inherent limitations such as accuracy; the difficulty of applying it in unpredictable real life; and the fact that in many areas it will be a long time, if ever, before it is more economical than human labour.” #fintech #tech #finserv #AI @BetaMoroney @efipm @BrettKing @spirosmargaris @jasuja @enricomolinari @mikeflache https://t.co/PYK62Oxp6H
