Mike Vizard talks with Jay Litkey, Senior Vice President of Cloud and FinOps at Flexera and a governing board member of the FinOps Foundation, about the rise of tokenomics as enterprises confront fast-growing AI spending. Litkey explains how the Tokenomics Foundation aims to extend FinOps practices for AI consumption by creating standards, visibility and governance around token usage, model selection, cost allocation and business value. The conversation also covers token shock, AI ROI, consumption-based technology management, enterprise commitments, cross-functional FinOps teams and why organizations need better guardrails before AI spending outpaces measurable outcomes.
