AI Spending Becomes Nearly Impossible for Businesses to Budget

Original: Spending on AI is becoming almost impossible for businesses to budget

Businesses are struggling to plan and control their AI expenses, according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal. The pay-per-use nature of AI services, where costs depend on token consumption, makes monthly bills highly unpredictable as usage grows. Companies and technology leaders are debating how to forecast, cap and justify these fast-scaling costs, with many saying traditional budgeting methods simply do not fit AI workloads.

Why now: Rapidly growing and unpredictable AI usage costs are hitting company budgets as AI adoption accelerates across industries.
