AI delivers ‘zero financial payoff’ to most companies, Apollo economist says

What the coverage shows

Both outlets center the same claim from Apollo economist Torsten Slok that AI has produced little or no financial return outside the tech sector. TechCrunch frames it as a broad conclusion about “most companies,” while Bloomberg Technology narrows the headline to the S&P 493 outside tech, making that the only notable difference in emphasis.
