    EY identifies four persistent AI misconceptions that enterprise leaders must reassess to extract measurable value from their investments. The piece argues that AI's impact will be real but more gradual than hype suggests, requiring leaders to calibrate expectations against actual deployment timelines and productivity curves. Organizations that treat AI adoption as a binary milestone rather than an ongoing management discipline risk misallocating capital and misreading ROI signals. The framework urges executives to move from adoption metrics toward value-realization governance, scrutinizing token costs, use-case prioritization, and operating model fit as the primary performance variables.
