The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that six months ago Safe Software Inc. of Surrey, B.C., was spending about $20,000 a month on AI tools such as Claude Code and ChatGPT for its 370 or so employees. The Globe's Joe Castaldo writes that as usage has grown, so too have the costs. It's now spending about $100,000 a month -- a five-fold increase in just a few months. "We really want to get this under control, because that's over a million a year," said co-founder and chief executive officer Don Murray. These costs wouldn't be so much of an issue, he said, if Safe Software had a clear picture of the return on investment, but that's fuzzy in some cases. It's one of the reasons Safe Software recently hired a director of AI to better determine how employees should be using these tools and nail down the benefits, financial or otherwise, of all that spending. "I want to make sure there's an ROI," Mr. Murray said. Safe Software is not alone. Browse job postings these days and you're likely to see many "AI enablement" positions. EY Canada, Air Canada, Bank of Nova Scotia, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Coveo Solutions and Sage Recruiting have all sought people to lead or work on wringing value from AI tools.
