A CIO cancelled a Microsoft AI deal. The reason why should worry the entire tech industry.

A pharmaceutical company stopped using Microsoft's Copilot AI tool due to high cost and low value. The company found the AI tool comparable to middle school presentations, leading to the cancellation of the deal. Microsoft is considering repackaging 365 licenses to better monetize AI features amid record capex.

Microsoft's AI investments and the challenge of creating value for corporate customers are highlighted in this scenario.
