FAQ AI: Hard Truths About Delivery – Costs, Risks, and Reality 

You’ve seen the demos. You’ve heard the promises. But shipping AI in the real world is a very different story. Teams get excited, leaders approve budgets, pilots launch, and somewhere along the way reality shows up. Deadlines slip, data is messy, users resist, and the “obvious win” turns out to be anything but obvious.

That gap between hype and reality is exactly why FAQ AI exists.

This is a live Hot Seat conversation with founders, CTOs, and AI leaders who’ve been through it. Not theorists, not keynote speakers, not consultants recycling frameworks, but people who actually shipped AI and lived with the consequences.

Agenda

Our speakers will answer curated questions in a 60-second Hot Seat format — sharp, direct, and practical. And your voice matters: you can submit questions in advance or ask live during the session.

You’ll hear them tackle questions like:

• What is the biggest illusion companies have about AI today?
• What product assumption turned out to be wrong?
• What would you never let a company build in-house?
• What really changed in delivery speed?
• Why do most AI pilots quietly die?
• What do executives underestimate the most?

Your voice matters

Before the event, you can submit your own questions for the panel. During the session, you can also ask live in the chat, and we’ll address real cases from listeners on air.
