The hidden costs of scaling AI and how to get ahead of them
As AI adoption grows, costs and security risks can become buried across model choices, agent workflows and MCP tool connections. This session examines where unnecessary spend and over-provisioned access hide and how teams can gain the visibility needed to address them before they scale. You’ll learn how to: → Identify the models, agent behaviours and tool calls driving unnecessary spend. → Detect access risks created by overly broad MCP permissions. → Apply consistent controls across technical and non-technical teams. → Build a practical framework for managing AI cost, access and governance at scale.
