Cloud Wars Live with Bob Evans · 2026-06-30 · 5 min
In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I discuss the growing challenge of balancing AI demand, budgets, and business priorities across the enterprise. Highlights 00:02 - We’ve got an emerging dilemma here for CEOs in the early days of the AI Revolution, and a new solution from OpenAI has brought that to light. The dilemma is this: when everybody wants AI tokens , as many as they can get, as quickly as they can get them, but AI tokens are in limited supply, who gets them? Who decides that? How do companies measure that? 00:54 - So, OpenAI has come out with a new tool. This new solution from OpenAI is aimed at AI administrators, so they can sort of turn them on and off, see who’s using what, which ones align with business impact, more over here, less over here. As a tool, that’s all great. But who sets, on high, the policies that those AI admins then can use as their guide? 01:47 - The current state of reality in the marketplace is that the technology is outpacing a lot of corporate cultures. Perhaps there are some CEOs who have sat down with their executive teams and very rigorously hammered this out: a very clear, transparent policy.
