AI investments are no longer evaluated on potential alone. Unpredictable usage, shared infrastructure, and emerging architectures all make AI costs difficult to budget, forecast, and explain in financial terms.
That complexity also creates opportunity. FinOps, Finance, and Engineering leaders must work together to bring greater clarity to AI spend, connecting costs to real usage and measurable outcomes that lay the groundwork for sustainable, profitable growth over time.
In this 30-minute live session, we’ll share practical lessons learned from working with some of the most advanced FinOps-for-AI teams in the world. CloudZero experts will discuss how to:
- Shift the FinOps practice from reactive tracking to proactive AI cost planning
- Plan and govern AI spend as it scales without slowing progress
- Translate AI costs into clear, credible financial signals for leadership
If AI is becoming a meaningful part of your cloud strategy, this session will start your 2026 with a clear path toward long-term AI value.
