What happened
MIT Technology Review’s annual forecast says the industry is shifting from building ever-larger models to making AI usable. Fine-tuned small models, agentic deployments, and sustainable business models are the new focus.

The EMOR AI take
This is the transition we’ve been positioning for. While the industry chased model size, we were building deployment-ready systems. The companies that win now are the ones shipping, not demoing.
The shift to usable AI rewards businesses that ship a working system over those still demoing possibilities. The concrete step is to pick one real process, answering calls or qualifying leads, and put a deployment-ready system on it this quarter. Winning now means running AI, not planning to.
What this means for your business
- Ship a working AI system, not a demo
- Put deployment-ready AI on one real process
- Win by running AI, not planning it
