Is AI the New Internet?
AI investment is accelerating, but the productivity impact is still taking shape.
In Board’s September Economic Outlook, Haley Vicini, Director of Economic Advisory, compares today’s AI buildout to the internet and ICT boom of the 1990s. The lesson: major technologies often move from investment and adoption into measurable productivity over time.
For Finance, CPG, retail, and ecommerce leaders, the question is how to plan for AI’s potential without assuming the payoff will arrive all at once.
What’s covered:
- Why AI investment has clearly broken out
- What the ICT boom can tell us about productivity timing
- Where early productivity signals may appear first
- How Finance teams can reflect measurable gains in planning assumptions
Watch the outlook to learn how businesses can use this buildout phase to measure AI’s impact and plan with greater discipline.
