Tech executives are suffering from "AI psychosis," says Box CEO

Box CEO Aaron Levie said many executives are overestimating AI by focusing on polished demos instead of the extra work needed for reliable business use.

He argued leaders are often too far removed from day-to-day operations to see the gaps between AI hype and real workflows.

The critique lands as companies push AI adoption, cut jobs, and pour money into AI infrastructure.

The comments point to a widening gap between executive enthusiasm and the practical challenges of deploying AI safely in enterprises.
