We are all bombarded with news about AI—its promise, its risks, and its global implications.
Is it hype, or is it real?
AI is not another passing technology trend. It’s here and it’s real. Based on my experience as a technology leader of publicly held, private, and early-stage ventures—and on deploying AI-enabled automation solutions across healthcare and manufacturing over the past few years—AI is already delivering business outcomes that were not achievable with traditional technologies, and doing so faster and more cost-effectively than ever.
We’ve seen this cycle before with the emergence of the PC and Internet in the early 90’s. The organizations that succeeded were not the ones chasing hype, but those that applied the technology incrementally to real business problems. AI requires the same discipline, but with far greater urgency. Adoption and investment are accelerating faster than any prior technology wave, while the pace of innovation introduces new risks around obsolescence and poor decision-making.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt remarked recently, “AI is not a bubble … if anything, it’s underhyped.”
