Connor Linehan explores the hidden and often underestimated costs of artificial intelligence, looking beyond headline licence fees to the complex realities of usage, infrastructure and management. His writing breaks down how AI spending actually happens inside organisations, from token-based billing to usage spikes driven by real-world behaviour.

By reading Connor’s stories, you can learn how to anticipate and manage these less visible expenses, understand where budgets are most likely to slip, and build a more realistic view of AI’s financial impact. If you’re responsible for technology strategy, budgeting or governance, his work offers practical insight into making AI investments more predictable and sustainable.
