From Chaos to Control: How to Manage your Growing AI Costs
Monday, 21 September, 2026 / 02:30 PM - 03:00 PM BRT
About the Session
AI investment is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, but for many enterprises, adoption is scaling faster than governance, planning and cost management. As AI becomes embedded across infrastructure, products, SaaS platforms and employee workflows, organizations are accumulating dozens of decentralized use cases that mature at different speeds and often escape enterprise-wide visibility. This creates a growing risk that AI-related costs and operational dependence will outpace budgeting and optimization efforts, forcing CIOs into reactive funding decisions. To avoid being overwhelmed by this emerging AI cost wave, organizations must improve cost visibility, develop accurate forecasts and establish governance mechanisms before spending becomes difficult to control. In this session we lay out how to prevent the potential costs blowouts that will ensue without a structured management framework.
