Go back ten+ years, replace AI with cloud and it was the same. I saw ‘no cloud’ policies everywhere. But most of the anti-cloud people have since retired, so even the most hidebound of organisations are adopting it. It will probably take another round of retirements for AI to adopted in the more conservative environments.

If that is the case, then the AI isn't really adding enough value.
I mean, if it was adding enough value, those companies refusing to adopt it will be out-competed before the next round of retirements, and so won't even be around.
We'll see how the landscape looks in 10 years: if there are still major companies who have not invested some money or time into sprinkling the AI over their operations, then that's a signal that the positive impact of AI was overblown.
If, OTOH, there exists no large company in 10 years who have not incorporated AI into their operations in any way, then that's a signal too - the extra value of AI is above the cost of adding it to the operations.
