# The AI Proving Ground


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 North America

## Description

Enterprise AI spending keeps climbing, yet most pilots never make it into production. Between the demo and the deployment sits the hard part: testing against real workloads instead of benchmarks, security and compliance review, proving ROI beyond the proof of concept, and deciding who signs off. How organizations evaluate AI before trusting it in production - what a rigorous evaluation looks like, which criteria actually predict success, and what separates the pilots that ship from the ones that quietly die.
