Artificial Intelligence is starting to gain more attention in the media, different industries, analysts, consumers. How do Business Strategists get their organizations to start embracing the use of Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Robotic Process Automation???

The Proof is in the Pudding meaning there are some key elements that are needed for Business Leaders to embrace to support the prevalence of AI in the corporate world

1. Education – people need to understand the basic framework of AI and how it can help their business

2. Use Cases – there needs to real examples of how Machine learning has accomplished X or Neural Networks have done Y …. a step further than conceptual theories.

3. Seamless onboarding – This is absolutely a real hurdle that I am hearing about more often than the first two elements. To get people to embrace change you need to help them do it without major hoops to jump through to do it. If business cases are required create a template and framework that is frictionless so people will embrace vs. procrastinate.

4. If you are part of the team that is trying to promote Artificial Intelligence within your company – stay proactive and in touch with the teams that have expressed interest in testing out AI areas. Be prepared to help these teams until there are “self service” tools available.
