80% of AI Is Free. The Remaining 20% Could Cost You Everything
summary
Explains the gap between quickly building functional generative-AI prototypes (the “80%” achievable in hours using current tools) and the hard remaining 20%—the work to make systems secure, scalable, observable and compliant in large organizations. Presents two real production experiences: one about scaling AI across enterprises of 1,000+ engineers (tackling security, scalability and compliance), and one about using generative AI as a practical developer tool to see how far the fast prototyping approach goes.
