Part 8/13:
Keith offered a balanced view: "AI first" should go hand-in-hand with human oversight. His mantra is "AI first, human always." He recommends deploying AI incrementally within specific use cases, measuring outcomes, and expanding once initial success proves the approach's viability. The idea is to avoid paralysis from perfectionism and instead learn iteratively.
The Decentralized Reality and Future Organizational Models
An important point made by Leslie was that AI should not be centralized in a single team or hub. Instead, AI initiatives must be democratized, embedded across departments and functions, aligning with the strategic vision of a Federated model. This approach fosters agility, reduces bottlenecks, and encourages innovation at all organizational levels.
