Research from the Ramp AI Index indicates that while AI spending is increasing, it has not yet surpassed human labor costs. The top 1% of firms, dubbed “AI-pilled,” invest $7,500 per employee monthly on AI, which remains significantly lower than the average software engineer's monthly salary of roughly $16,000. While usage varies drastically—with the median firm spending only $11.38 per employee—spending among top-tier firms grew by 14.1% last month as companies experiment with various frontier and open-source models.
