The global landscape of artificial intelligence is shifting from experimental hype to practical, high-stakes implementation, bringing new challenges in governance, ethics, and economics. While adoption continues to rise, a tension has emerged between deployment speed and oversight; a survey by Avalara indicates that 92% of CFOs feel pressure to demonstrate ROI on AI agents, yet only 7% prioritize governance over the speed of deployment. In the corporate sector, venture capitalists at Itaú Ventures have warned that AI could potentially turn startups into mere ‘features’ of larger platforms. In Brazil, Softex reports that the trend of relying on ready-made, external solutions rather than in-house development persists. Recent data from the Softex Observatory shows that AI adoption among Brazilian companies rose from 13% in 2024 to 17.5% in 2025, reaching 49.6% among large enterprises. However, nearly 80% of these firms rely on market software, prompting calls for Brazil to transition toward technological autonomy. Economic value capture remains a significant hurdle. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei suggests that companies are currently capturing only 10% of AI’s potential economic value due to difficulties in redesigning workflows. This gap is mirrored in the financial sector, where pressure to demonstrate ROI persists despite low prioritization of governance. Ethical and regulatory concerns are ~~intensifying globally.
