“AI will inevitably be used to assist, offset, and even replace tasks we do today, just like the Internet and electricity did many years ago. AI will permeate every part of our personal and professional lives. It will be used to help us grow our businesses and eventually be used in nearly every electronic product companies make. So, what can you do today to take advantage of AI? The answer is surprisingly simple in concept, yet requires a huge, concerted effort to pull off effectively. You do not need to go out and do tons of research on AI technology, understand the details of how it works, investigate all the existing platforms, or even launch a bunch of pilot projects. Instead, you, along with everyone in your entire company, need to change the way you think.”
