The issue of AI is not being able to build a wrapper or new PoC. Scaling requires good, clean, and accurate data to feed into the tool. Further, you need a sound technology architecture to make it all work and flow — mainly cloud-based.
Most are in tech and healthcare. Healthcare is a huge opportunity for AI agents. It is often where people feel lost or most curious, particularly in today’s digital world. We will see a stronger focus here.
AI requires significant investment to scale the tech effectively. Further, it’s not just the technology that needs to change. It’s the tools, people, and processes that hang off it also, which drives up the cost.
They rebuild workflows, set growth goals, and invest real budgets, not just POCs. With certain technologies the bigger the thinking, the higher the reward. If you can find pockets within the organisation to improve a process, it will compound in terms of the improvement and pay-off.
This is a technology that requires leadership to be part of the solution, and lean into the technology. AI is adaptable and accessible. The more invested leadership are, the harder they will push the agenda of AI.
We all live and experience friction in how work is done. A better process has a range of benefits from employee morale through to cost savings. The non-monetary benefits are extremely valuable to set as KPIs and measure.
The best ones measure how fast their agents can act. The speed of information turned into actionable insight is the new competitive advantage.
Trust is what is holding AI back. We are seeing the growth of AI slop; on a similar note, can businesses empower AI with their most valuable decisions?
What we typically see with the emergence of a new technology is uncertainty. Old jobs will go away where there is a clear process with predictable data flow. But new jobs will emerge, ranging from engineering, sales, through to risk and leadership.
We are still away off seeing the benefits of AI come to fruition. Further, it is capital intense. Most NVIDIA chips only last 1 year before a new one will come out and supersede it. Companies need to be strategic with their investments.
Bottom, lots of activity, few results.
