Summary
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has published a scorecard to measure the economic value of AI spend. The scorecard focuses on “useful intelligence per dollar,” which has four elements: completing work that matters, cost per successful task, reliability, and scalability. Friar argues that AI must be measured by the work it accomplishes, not just adoption metrics. OpenAI is investing heavily in AI infrastructure, with a plan to invest up to $500 billion over four years. CFOs are increasingly expected to help determine strategy, including AI spend.
