Yeah. Just a few elite companies are able to get AI to even work. You need a critical mass of skilled AI experts on one company, a bunch of other people to support the infrastructure required so the AI development is productive, and tens of millions in hardware. You need technically savvy managers who know the context of the decisions they are making, people person's who fake it can't make effective decisions on cutting edge ai projects.

Thos excludes almost all companies.
