I do see that angle, and my impression is this push comes from the top top. The execs and middle are just following, milking it as long as it lasts.

It still makes no sense. Why would a CEO or the Board gamble the company on an outcome they have no input on?

have you seen the behavior of CEOs?

the market is doing it, and there is no way for a CEO, CIO, CTO, CISO, et al, to not do AI in 2025. the gains to stock price from the hype alone could be worthwhile, and even if not "everyone else was doing it"

Broad pressure because everybody else MIGHT be using AI and this (example) company stock MIGHT go down.
