AI: Strangely It’s all about the People – The race between the development of new and better technology, and people’s ability to accept it, learn it, and utilize it is ongoing. And AI has magnified that fact. Though humans control the pace of technological change to a certain extent, employers need to strategically plan for the use of artificial intelligence in their organization. Ensuring everyone is on the same page - guidelines, education, communications, purpose, use – will facilitate the successful integration of artificial intelligence.
