Kristin Milchanowski, Chief AI and Quantum Officer at BMO Financial Group, stated on CNBC that she hopes 2027 will mark a shift in the AI trade from three years of pilots and use cases to scaled enterprise deployments focused on business value. She emphasized the need for CFO-accountable, auditable returns on AI capital expenditure, a factor currently lacking in the market. Her comments come as Nvidia is set to report its fiscal Q2 earnings later today, August 26, 2026.
