AI Graveyard: Notable Failures From OpenAI to Apple

From well-funded startups to tech giants, AI projects are failing at a striking rate. About 42% of corporate AI initiatives are ultimately abandoned, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Recent casualties include Relay, an AI workflow tool outpaced by larger platforms, and OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas browser, which lasted less than a year. Even industry leaders have stumbled badly. Apple delayed its revamped Siri for years, resulting in a $250 million settlement. Microsoft's Recall feature faced fierce privacy backlash. Notion Mail shut down after users preferred rival AI agents. The Humane AI Pin, backed by $230 million, became one of AI hardware's most prominent flops.
