Lunch Roundtable: The token economy: Controlling the new currency of AI
AI costs are surging, and they don't behave like any IT spend you've managed before. Unlike traditional infrastructure, AI expenditure is volatile, hard to forecast, and grows in ways that can quickly outpace budget assumptions. Relating AI token costs to business outcomes is becoming a critical challenge for organisations trying to scale AI responsibly while maintaining financial control.
At the heart of this is a new economic reality: tokens are the unit by which AI is priced, consumed, and billed. For those responsible for technology spend, understanding how tokens work, and how to control them, is now a boardroom-level concern.
Join this peer-led roundtable of insurance leaders responsible for AI investment and technology spend. This is a candid, experience-first discussion on how organisations are making sense of AI costs, holding vendors accountable, and building the financial controls to scale AI responsibly.
What we'll cover:
- What tokens are and why they make AI spend fundamentally harder to predict and govern than traditional IT
- How agentic AI workflows are amplifying cost complexity, and what that means for budgets and business cases
- How insurance organisations are building oversight, controls, and smarter investment frameworks around AI spend
