Episode notes

🚀 Welcome to a Special Interview Edition of AI Unraveled.

In this episode, we move beyond the hype of "Vibe Revenue" and get down to the bottom line. Host Etienne Noumen sits down with enterprise AI strategist Lakshman Kaveti to answer the question every CEO is asking: "Where is the ROI on my $10 million AI budget?"
