Following reports of Big Tech's $660 billion AI spending spree and renewed fears of an AI bubble, there is growing debate over whether the scale of investment is translating into meaningful value beyond the tech sector itself.
Oliver Steil, CEO at TeamViewer and a leader in digital workplace solutions, argues that the real issue is not the technology, but how AI is actually being put to work inside organisations.
Recent discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos point to a growing belief that the AI boom has yet to translate into meaningful growth beyond the tech sector. The real issue here has less to do with the technology itself and more to do with how it is being put to work. For business leaders, the critical question is increasingly practical: what actual value does AI deliver on a Monday morning?
Agentic AI is making this shift possible. Companies are moving away from one-size-fits-all systems and toward purpose-built AI that can take on real work inside the organisation.
