Stumbled on a stat that 73% of AI projects never make it past the pilot phase

I was reading a report from Gartner last night about enterprise AI rollouts and that number just hit me hard. We spent 8 months building a customer service chatbot at my last job and it got scrapped right before launch because management decided it was too risky. How are so many teams putting in all that work for nothing? Has anyone else here seen a project that was technically ready just die because of company politics?

Yeah that stat tracks, politics kills more projects than tech ever does.

Wait, 8 months of work and it got killed right before launch? That's brutal, that had to feel like a complete waste of everyone's time. I've seen projects twist in the wind for months after they were done because some VP got cold feet, it's insane how much momentum can just vanish.
