About The Event

​Why do 95% of GenAI pilots fail to deliver value – and what can we learn from the 5%?

​According to the MIT State of AI in Business 2025 study, 95% of Generative AI pilots fail. Despite massive investment, most organizations remain stuck in the GenAI Chasm: adoption without transformation, pilots without measurable ROI. Yet, a small group – the 5% who succeed – are showing an emerging path forward.

​Join Vancouver Tech Journal, Revolution Data Platforms, and GovAI.fm for an honest conversation about what it really takes to cross — or fall into — the GenAI chasm.

​What This Forum Will Explore:

• ​4 Myths that keep organizations falling into the chasm
• ​4 Best Practices that distinguish the rare successes.
• 1 Emerging Playbook for how corporations and AI service providers can partner to cross together.

​Takeaway for Leaders:

• A framework to evaluate their own GenAI efforts against what actually works.
