By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The cost of AI tokens has plummeted by 90%, yet enterprise AI expenses have doubled, according to Gartner. This trend is attributed to the Jevons paradox, where increased efficiency leads to higher overall consumption. To address this, a new open-source AI project called ScopeLock has been developed as part of the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 2. ScopeLock aims to manage freelance scope creep by converting it into paid change orders, offering a potential solution for budget control in AI projects. AI
