In this episode, Steve talks with Dr. Kathleen Perley, founder of DemystifAI and AI advisor to the deans at Rice Business. Dr. Perley explains why leadership matters when implementing AI in your business, and shares how to bridge the gap between tech-savvy CTOs and non-technical folks. Dr. Perley and Steve also discuss the possibilities and boundaries of artificial intelligence.
Key Takeaways:
- AI has some exciting use cases.
- Executives should be involved in the implementation of AI.
- Business will fall behind if they don’t embrace artificial intelligence.
I think part of the reason why AI implementation is failing today is that leadership issue. They’re maybe unsure of this technology, don’t have what they feel like is appropriate technical background to navigate it. And so they’ve completely delegated it, versus leaning in and learning the technology themself. – Dr. Kathleen Perley
