This Benori Knowledge Series webinar, “Beyond the Buzz: AI Hype vs Reality,” separates AI excitement from practical impacts across consumer goods, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, education, and professional services. Ashish Gupta and Sneha Singh highlight massive momentum, $15T GDP boost forecast, Nvidia surpassing India's GDP, 78% enterprise adoption, but stress realities like 88% pilot failures, only 1% scaled workflows, and net 78M new jobs despite 92M displaced. They showcase Benori's AI-human hybrid approach for sector analysis, competitor benchmarking, partnerships, and customer insights, urging board-level strategies, skills, and test-learn cycles to navigate power constraints, ethics, and rapid evolution.
