Successfully deploying AI has little to do with technology

The journey of AI implementation requires strategic vision, leadership, and an organization culture conducive to innovation, writes tech visionary Sol Rashidi, author of ‘Your AI Survival Guide.’

However, a prevailing misconception is that a deep technical background is the cornerstone of successful AI deployment in an organization. This notion oversimplifies the complexities of AI integration as the journey of implementing AI isn’t exclusively a technical endeavor; it’s an organization-wide commitment that hinges more on strategic vision, leadership, and a culture conducive to innovation than on technical know-how alone.
