What is AI Washing? (Bandwagon Jumpers) – click here or the image below to watch a short video.

Okay, Bob Mango, here is a link to my most recent LinkedIn post that very much aligns with what you are saying – https://bit.ly/3B2km72

I turned 65 this year, and after over 40 years in high-tech and procurement, I can say with great certainty that Hype Cycles like Gartner’s do more harm than good. They sell the sizzle and later return and tell you what you did wrong because what they hyped didn’t work.

Because far too many companies are AI washing, as you call it, we are entering the early stages of the AI Bubble Burst. By the end of 2025, 75% of all logos on solution maps will be gone by quiet absorption, acquisition, or closing down outright.

The problem I have—and I am not alone in this thinking, as people like David Loseby MCIOB Chtr’d FAPM FCMI FCIPS Chtr’d FRSA MIoD MICWMichael Lamoureux and many others share my point of view—is why a solution provider like Green Cabbage, founded in 2017, with a current revenue run of $10 to $20 million annually, is absent from the analyst solution maps and general mainstream awareness?

What is your takeaway from Bob Mango‘s video, the concept of AI Washing, and the state of Gartner?
