It's notable that one of the more successful AI products (GitHub Copilot) was not built with throwing the money at a problem or a large team.
It was built by a small team, in a right place of a large company. And they were periodically re-assessing if the machine learning was "there yet". And the technology itself (codex) was created by a mix of Google Research / Academia (NIPS) and OpenAI/YC attempt to connect that research with products. It wasn't done on giant budgets and compensation was at the FANG levels or below.
