You could replace "AI" there with any other newly developed tech paradigms, like "Big Data" several years ago. Your null hypothesis is probably correct for most companies, but there will always be some companies for whom the new tech is beneficial. Most companies do not need big data, and are fine running a single postgres instance for the entirety of their lifetime, just like most companies probably don't need AI.

This is true, but I think the real benefit of the “Big Data” paradigm (scare quotes included) was the spreading the idea that you should actually measure things, and then make a decision. You’d think this was obvious, but apparently it wasn’t. (Think back to the book Lean Startup, whose premise is, “A/B test hypotheses.”) Similarly, the “AI Revolution”, could be boiled down to, “run a regression.”
