World Congress 2026 North America

The Unit Economics of AI

September 25, 2026 14:10 – 14:40 · 30 min Tech Leaders Stage

What this session covers

AI has made software cheap to write and expensive to run. Inference bills grow with usage, GPUs are scarce and priced accordingly, and many teams discovered their unit economics only after the invoice arrived. How companies are getting AI infrastructure costs under control - what actually drives the bill, where the waste hides, and how to run AI at a cost that works.
