Newer AI capabilities often compete with older system maintenance and other digital projects for budget allocation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Pressure on Older Systems:<\/strong> As companies shift more funds towards AI, the older, less crucial projects may face cuts, raising the question of which systems and operations are prioritized.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Need for Strategic AI Use:<\/strong> Companies must consider not just the immediate productivity gains of AI but how these investments connect to overall business outcomes and processes. It&#8217;s not enough to adopt AI; a broader rethinking of organizational workflows may be necessary.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Upcoming Webinar:<\/strong> The article highlights a McKinsey &amp; Company-hosted webinar, &#8220;The Trillion-Dollar Question: Who Wins and Who Loses in the Services Economy?&#8221; which will delve deeper into these issues and is scheduled for May 28, discussing how AI reshapes tech spending and business competitiveness. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This encapsulates the core concerns enterprises face in balancing AI investments with traditional budgetary constraints and the broader implications for organizational practices.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI Impact: What Gets Cut to Pay for AI? https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/ai-impact-what-gets-cut-to-pay-for-ai-11973183 Publish Date: 2026-05-20 11:04:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":217440,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/AI-Impact-Road-Closed-AI-Budget-Tradeoffs.jpg?w=1200&crop=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-217439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217439"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217439"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217439\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":217441,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217439\/revisions\/217441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
