The other is slower\u2014the pace of adoption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s the speed of adoption in a truly substantive way, so that each one of us can experience the economic uplift that AI offers,\u201d Porat said. She added, \u201cThe upside from AI does require a fundamental rethink of every process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Porat noted that while working on chatbots can be useful because it gets organizations thinking about the AI journey, \u201cit shouldn\u2019t stop there.\u201d The big question, she said, is: What does AI mean for my country and for my business?<\/p>\n<p>Porat served as CFO of Alphabet and Google beginning in May 2015 and <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/26\/google-cfo-search-ruth-porat-president-cio\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/07\/26\/google-cfo-search-ruth-porat-president-cio\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">was promoted<\/a> to president and chief investment officer in September 2023.

In her current position, Porat regularly engages with policymakers and regulators and plays an influential role in shaping the dialogue around AI\u2019s impact on companies, governments, and the U.S. position in the world.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018The real promise of AI\u2019<\/h4>\n<p>During the panel, <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/barclays\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/barclays\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">Barclays<\/a> Group CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan said that realizing the promise of AI requires \u201cfairly large commitments\u2014financially and otherwise\u2014and you need to work with partners you can trust, who will help you through the teething troubles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real prize is changing business processes end to end using AI,\u201d Venkatakrishnan said. Barclays is already seeing the benefits of AI in customer service and document management, but \u201cwe\u2019re still at the tip of the spear\u2014there\u2019s a lot more to be done,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Venkatakrishnan said leaders\u2019 responsibility is not just to use AI for productivity, but to empower people to take on bigger, more interesting, and more valuable work. \u201cThat is the real promise of AI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t lose sight of the human element<\/h4>\n<p>Saudi Arabia\u2019s minister of investment, Khalid Al-Falih, shared what he\u2019s hearing from companies around the world about how they\u2019re navigating global economic complexities. \u201cI believe people are looking for partners they can trust\u2014partners who are not short-term or transactional,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Falih added that both governments and companies want to ensure their capital and resources are allocated not only to technology, but also to talent. Despite all the focus on technology, the human element remains essential, he said.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Investing in skills and infrastructure<\/h4>\n<p>Porat agreed with Al-Falih that executing AI responsibly is key to ensuring everyone benefits from its upside. \u201cA core part of any strategy must include training, education, and skilling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that investment in energy, infrastructure, and grid modernization will support AI expansion. \u201cThere are 2,500 gigawatts of energy in development in the U.S. waiting to get on the grid,\u201d Porat said.<\/p>\n<p>For example, there\u2019s a shortage of electricians in the U.S., so Google created a training program, she said. Google also announced last week its first <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/outreach-initiatives\/sustainability\/first-carbon-capture-storage-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/blog.google\/outreach-initiatives\/sustainability\/first-carbon-capture-storage-project\/\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">carbon capture and storage project<\/a>, and the company is advancing its work in nuclear energy as well, Porat added.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge of leaders as AI enters its next chapter will not just be harnessing its power, but ensuring its benefits are shared among workers, companies, and economies alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sheryl<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Estrada<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2025\/10\/28\/google-ruth-porat-unlock-ai-upside-rethink-every-process-cfo\/mailto:sheryl.estrada@fortune.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to mailto:sheryl.estrada@fortune.com\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">sheryl.estrada@fortune.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>***<strong>Upcoming Event:<\/strong> Join us for our next Emerging CFO webinar,\u00a0<em>Optimizing for a Human-Machine Workforce<\/em>, presented in partnership with Workday, on Nov. 13 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll explore how leading CFOs are rethinking the future of work in the age of agentic AI\u2014including when to deploy AI agents to accelerate automation, how to balance ROI tradeoffs between human and digital talent, and the upskilling strategies CFOs are applying to optimize their workforces for the future.<\/p>\n<p>You <a href=\"https:\/\/conferences.fortune.com\/event\/emerging-cfo-future-of-work\/regProcessStep1:c1fd309f-9537-4a00-b559-2098386128a2?RefId=CFODaily&amp;rp=e4cd6bfa-631b-4636-a83a-113a9d086873\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/conferences.fortune.com\/event\/emerging-cfo-future-of-work\/regProcessStep1:c1fd309f-9537-4a00-b559-2098386128a2?RefId=CFODaily&amp;rp=e4cd6bfa-631b-4636-a83a-113a9d086873\" class=\"sc-5ad7098d-0 lcJVdL\">can register here<\/a>.

The timing and level of investment needed to build a value-generating venture vary depending on the type of asset at its core. Nearly one-third of respondents said their new ventures focused on data or intellectual property broke even with investments of less than $1 million. By contrast, far fewer said ventures centered on physical products reached breakeven with investments under $1 million, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The report also found that among respondents whose companies built on proven concepts, two-thirds reported above-average organic growth relative to their industries.
