AI in Business: Real Tools, Real Results, and What Actually Works

When you hear AI in business, the use of artificial intelligence to automate tasks, improve decisions, and drive revenue in commercial settings. Also known as enterprise AI, it’s no longer about futuristic robots—it’s about teams using large language models, AI systems that understand and generate human-like text to assist with writing, analysis, and planning to cut research time by 90%, or generative AI, AI that creates new content like forecasts, reports, or product designs to slash inventory costs by 25%. This isn’t theory. Companies like Unilever and Lenovo are doing it today.

But not all AI in business works the same. Some teams use it for quick wins—like drafting emails or summarizing meetings—while others build full systems that predict demand, detect fraud, or manage supply chains. The difference? It’s not the tech. It’s how they handle AI governance, the policies, teams, and checks that ensure AI is used safely, ethically, and reliably. Without it, even the best models hallucinate citations, leak data, or make decisions no one can explain. That’s why top companies now track AI ROI, the measurable financial return from AI investments, isolated from other business changes before scaling anything. They don’t just ask, "Can we use this?" They ask, "Can we prove it helped?"
