Eye On A.I. · Real AI Transformation Costs HALF of Everyone's Salary for 2 Years | Chris Blackburn, Liatrio · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

I do believe I'm just so excited about the future and so positive with the belief that's going to get there is that there's going to be so many more new jobs, so many more new companies.

And hopefully that passion part of it will allow people to go work in an industry or in a job or whatever that is much more passionate to them.

But going back to the question, wet finger in the air is take the entire total cost of compensation for your organization.

And you're going to run that, divide that in half.

And that's what you're going to spend for a couple of years in a row for sure.

And it's a tremendous number.

Yeah, at the beginning, we are tool and kind of product agnostic for sure.

I believe that there's a lot of tools that we would maybe recommend against and things like that.

But, you know, you're talking about the major cloud service providers and all of that.

First of all,

Every large enterprise has all of them almost to begin with, you know what I mean?

Different pockets of their organization and things like that.

You know, they mostly all use some of the greatest software delivery platforms, GitHub, GitLab, and other things like that.

So we usually come in and say that, hey, what you have today is likely going to work, and let's build upon that and learn from that until we get challenged and say maybe something else can be better.

And that's one of the biggest things as well is if you get people into this kind of continual learning and continual assessment and continual trial thing is and you build your system, all your systems where things can be swapped out and are not so hard coded to a single platform.

I think that's going to be something that's going to be really huge in the coming years.

I would be scared to death to sign three and five year term commitments to a lot of these providers of any sort right now, because I think things are changing so rapidly.

And what's probably going to happen is you're going to go from one to the other, then back to the first one and to a net new one and all of that.

And that just makes an organization comfortable with change.

And I think having comfort with change is probably one of the most important things that they could do.
