I am sorry, but this is so out of touch with reality. Maybe in the US most companies are willing to allocate you 1000 or 1500 USD/month/engineer, but I am sure that in many countries outside of the US not even a single line (or other type of) manager will allocate you such a budget.

I know for a fact that in countries like Japan you even need to present your arguments for a pizza party :D So that's all you need to know about AI adoption and what's driving it

Depends on the culture. I worked at a place that did $100 million in sales a year and if the cost was less than $5k for something we needed, management said just fuckin do it, don't even ask. I also worked at a place that did $2 billion a year and they required multi-level approval for MS project pro licenses. All depends.

Edit: Why is this downvoted? Different corp cultures have different ideas about what is worthwhile. Some places value innovation and experimentation and some places don't.
