9/ If I had to compress 8 months into one line:

The risk isn't missing out on AI. It's having AI everywhere and transformation nowhere.

Full report is open and free, in EN and PT. Valor Econômico, Brazil's top business daily, covered it last week:

1/ Brazil is a great natural experiment for enterprise AI adoption.

98% of internet users are on mobile. 94% use WhatsApp. 53 hours a week online. And yet AI is everywhere in conversation and almost nowhere in results.

I spent 8 months digging into why. Quick thread.

8/ Inside companies, AI floats between HR, IT and Compliance with no owner.

Everyone has an opinion, nobody answers for the result. So companies end up measuring licenses and prompt counts, which say nothing about maturity.

9/ Se eu tivesse que resumir os 8 meses numa frase:

O risco não é ficar sem IA. É ter IA em todos os lugares e transformação em nenhum.

O report tá aberto, na íntegra, de graça. Semana passada virou matéria no Valor:

1/ Não podemos correr o risco onde IA vira pauta de todo mundo, e responsabilidade de ninguém.

Passei os últimos 8 meses em Stanford com o Bernardo Precht entrevistando executivos e diretores de RH sobre IA nas empresas brasileiras. Mais de 50 horas de conversa.

Vou resumir aqui o que a gente encontrou.

8/ Dentro das empresas, a IA circula entre RH, TI e Compliance sem dono.

Todo mundo opina, ninguém responde pelo resultado. Aí a régua vira número de licenças e prompts enviados, que não dizem nada sobre maturidade.

Point #1, “stop asking to pick people’s brains,” is especially salient if you’re asking people who sell pickings of their brains as their product

Then it goes from aimless to insulting

It’s like cold emailing someone at Apple and asking them to send you a free MacBook

“Hey, I have a need for your product and would love for you to give that to me, a total stranger, for free. Thanks!”
