As a decision maker, you have to understand artificial intelligence, with focus on the capabilities the technology brings to the table.

Adopting AI requires making strategic decisions. Make sure that the right stakeholders are involved. Prioritize between use cases. Build partnerships with leading experts. Allocate substantial and appropriate resources. Foster an environment for organizational learning.
