Panel:The ROI Hunger Games: Proving AI’s Value in 2026
The honeymoon is over. After two years of rapid experimentation and "AI-first" hype, the enterprise has entered a period of brutal recalibration. In 2026, Product Managers are no longer asked if their AI works—they are asked how much it earns. With 80% of AI projects failing to scale and CFOs demanding 12-month payback periods, the pressure to move from "viral demos" to "durable ROI" has never been higher. This panel brings together battle-hardened product leaders to discuss the "Science of the Practical." We will dive into the new 2026 KPI framework: moving beyond model accuracy to measure operational lift, revenue velocity, and the mitigation of "Bias Debt." Whether you are fighting for next year’s budget or trying to rescue a pilot from "purgatory," join us to learn how the most successful AI products are surviving the Hunger Games by prioritizing profit over pixels and execution over expectations.
