Eric Siu breaks down why most companies lag on AI adoption. Only 9% of enterprises are scaling with AI while 91% aren't. He points to Shopify's River Slack agent and argues a "single brain" approach helps organizations actually ship AI products.
As recently as last week, the founder of Shopify wrote a post just saying, oh, we have released this thing into Slack called River. And everyone's like, oh my God, this is amazing, right? Anybody can talk to River. You know, we're sending all our pull requests, we're upgrading our product, and then people are just talking to River and everyone's learning in public. Maybe a month or two ago, Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter, now called X, he runs Block right now. And, you know, they cut 40% of staff, but he talked about this concept of this world brain. So this slide shows that only 9% of enterprises are actually scaling with AI right now. The other 91% are not really touching this as, as much as they should, right? So almost nobody's shipping right now, and this whole concept of having a single brain is going to help get you there.
