Been thinking about where AI takes us, especially after high profile essays & frontier lab resignations. Who controls the levers is what resolves the current Crisis, not the labs / the models. Been chewing on @barnes_law's AI bubble take too. Where I land: ericoverfield.com/watch-what…

Watch what those in power do, not the models - ericoverfield.com

There is quite a bit of chatter about whether AI is the best thing or the worst thing that has ever happened to us. Fair enough, I’m still figuring this out as well, it could be either. AI is...

A7 #CollabTalk And many orgs are chasing hype over value. Start small, POC an idea. Solve real problems. Scale what works

A7 #CollabTalk Orgs always underestimate #ChangeManagement. #AIFirst follows 80/20 rule, 80% people, 20% tech. Invest in culture, training, and trust

A7 #CollabTalk I'm seeing orgs treat #AI as a tech project, not a business transformation. We fix this by aligning AI goals with strategic outcomes

A6 #CollabTalk My favorite metric = time to insight. My #AI solutions must accelerate decisions, not complicate them

A6 #CollabTalk Best bets, track #Adoption, not only output. If your AI isn’t being used, it’s not successful—no matter how smart it is. i.e., if a tree falls in a forest...

A6 #CollabTalk #Success = #AI delivering measurable business value. Could include revenue growth, cost savings, customer satisfaction. Success isn't just model accuracy

A5 #CollabTalk To start, teach prompt engineering. #Empower employees to ask better questions of AI. Share successes

A5 #CollabTalk #AI #Literacy begins with understanding what AI can do, what it can’t, and how to work with it. It’s for everyone, not just data scientists

A4 #CollabTalk #Governance doesn't have to be a blocker. It can be a booster. Since ethical #AI builds trust with users, regulators, and your own teams, governance of data builds that foundation

A4 #CollabTalk Trust is earned, not assumed. Really? Yes! Transparent AI solutions, clear accountability, and ethical guardrails are non-negotiable

A3 #CollabTalk Summary: #Rethink your infra with #AI in mind: prioritize #Interoperability, #Automation, and #Governance from the ground up

A3 #CollabTalk So, #AI needs modern plumbing. Which we've needed for years. Think #DataLakes, real-time #Pipelines, and #ScalableCompute. Upgrade those legacy systems you duct-taped together

A3 #CollabTalk #AI at scale demands clean, connected, and cloud-ready data. I say this often, if your data is #Siloed or #Stale, your AI will be too!

A2 #CollabTalk #Leadership must champion #AI as a strategic priority. Not a tech trend

A2 #CollabTalk Thus, orgs need to consider moving to "prove it first" to "try it fast." #Scary. #AI can thrive in environments that reward learning over perfection

A2 #CollabTalk Leaders need to shift their thinking. Foster #Experimentation. Embrace #Uncertainty. #Empower teams to innovate with #AI. No one knows where this is going just yet
