C3.ai’s expansion with Shell is a real-world validation of enterprise AI’s ROI in energy—predictive maintenance typically cuts downtime 20-50%—but watch vendor lock-in: Agentic AI on Azure ties Shell’s OT to Microsoft’s cloud stack, raising long-term interoperability risks if Shell diversifies hyperscalers.
