Every platform team is now tasked with funding and managing AI initiatives, but few have a clear read on results. We surveyed 100+ platform engineers on how they prioritize, measure, and manage cloud costs as AI reshapes their role. This session pairs those results with a practical look at how leading teams measure AI ROI, covering where you should spend your time, how much influence FinOps and the C-suite have over cost strategy, and how to apply unit economics to answer: was the AI investment worth it? You'll leave with best practices for avoiding AI bill shock and building ROI metrics for agentic workloads.
