The ROI on Intelligence: Turning AI Investment into Enterprise Transformation | RAISE Summit 2026
Jordan Topoleski, Pallavi Mahajan, Peter Elstrom
Jordan Topolesky of Cursor and representatives from Nokia describe a critical industry shift from tracking AI input costs to optimizing for business outcomes, evidenced by a case where AI spending was cut 26% without reducing production code rates. This transition has driven organizational restructuring, including role compression and smaller, more efficient teams that leverage dynamic model selection to handle complex parallel workflows. Complementing these operational changes, INSEAD's Philippe Agnon highlights that while AI efficiency modestly boosts GDP, its primary economic value lies in expanding execution capacity to foster higher-quality strategic ideation and new product innovation.
