Your enterprise AI strategy isn’t as far along as you think. The reality for most organizations today is that AI is disrupting existing processes more than it’s delivering outcomes… so far. And according to Dr. Grace Trinidad, Research Director at IDC, that’s how it should be.

In this episode, host Johnny Hand sits down with Dr. Grace to discuss how AI adoption follows the same pattern as almost every major digital transformation, and why this disruption phase we’re in is messy, yet critically important.

What we cover:

How history demonstrates that automation across industries created disruption well before delivering value

Why your AI adoption strategy is much more than simple tool deployment

What business and technology leaders need to consider as they integrate AI into operational workflows

How token consumption and AI FinOps are the emerging security and cost risk

How AI ontologies will be the next real business differentiator

Why stick around:

If you’ve been wondering if your organization’s AI adoption strategy is ahead of the curve, Dr. Grace will give you a much clearer picture of where you really stand.
