AI to ROI is a podcast that shares how enterprises translate AI investments into measurable business value. Hosted by Ray Rike, Founder and CEO of Benchmarkit, the show features senior enterprise leaders and AI software executives who share how AI initiatives move from pilots to production, and how ROI is actually measured and achieved. In addition, each week, we publish a bonus episode with AI to ROI Newsletter co-author, Peter Buchanan to discuss the Big Story of the Week.
