SpaceXAI x Bain: What boardrooms are asking about the AI SDLC
Boards and CFOs are approving bigger AI budgets for software development, and they're asking harder questions about the return. A new Bain Technology Report estimated that by 2031, annual spending on AI infrastructure could reach $1.5 trillion.
Bain will share what they’re hearing from top executives about the AI SDLC: how leaders should think about token economics, model and context harnesses, output quality, and where humans belong in the loop.
Join Purna Doddapaneni, Partner of Enterprise Technology at Bain and Mike Saeks, Field CTO at SpaceXAI, to learn:
What boards and CFOs are asking engineering leaders to prove about AI spend
How to tie token spend to ROI when you budget for AI in the SDLC
Which guardrails (model selection, context, output quality, and human review) separate productive use from waste
