88% of companies are deploying AI this year. Only 1 in 20 will get real value out of it. A new role is being created inside the companies actually getting it right — and it doesn't require a computer science degree.
Most companies are buying AI tools before they've figured out what problem they're trying to solve. That's a big reason only 1 in 20 enterprise AI projects actually deliver measurable value — and why the other 95% end in millions of wasted spend, stalled rollouts, and in some cases, real damage.
A new role is emerging to sit in front of all of that. Someone who walks into a company, figures out where AI actually belongs, where it doesn't, and what guardrails it needs once it's running. In this episode of Brains Byte Back, host Erick Espinosa sits down with two of the first people holding that title — Luis Escalante, AI Delivery Manager at Gorilla Logic, and Siddardha Vangala, Senior AI Applications Developer at MasTec Advanced Technologies.
They explain what the job actually is, what it isn't, and why the people most qualified for it often don't realize they already have the skills.
If you've been watching the AI boom from the outside, wondering where you fit, this episode is the answer.
