Tweetchat Questions: AI in the Enterprise
The questions we’ll tweet about will include the following – check back for more/revised questions:
- I’m sure you’ve noticed: we’re seeing a tsunami of interest in AI and generative AI. Is the hype justified?
- What’s your sense of the comfort/effectiveness of enterprise adoption of AI? Expensive science experiment? A great but nascent competitive tool?
- Less publicized fact: companies need a robust cloud and data strategy to support effective AI. Does this suggest that AI is still…in the future?
- Do executives fully understand AI technology? As a cohort, where are they in the learning curve?
- What recommendations do you offer to companies to build out a competitive AI strategy?
- The biggest challenge for enterprise AI? Is it compliance, skill staff, a comprehensive plan….?
- How do you recommend addressing this most difficult AI challenge?
- Your sense of the future of enterprise AI? It appears more unpredictable than earlier emerging technologies. Your forecast 1-3 years out?
-
A last Big Thought about enterprise AI – what else should managers/buyers/providers know about deploying AI in the enterprise?
