The Adoption Problem in AI

There is a significant challenge regarding AI adoption across various organizations, as many companies still struggle to implement AI effectively.

It is crucial for marketing and communications teams to take the lead in educating other departments about the potential and value of AI, as many organizations lack a cohesive strategy for implementation. This disconnection often leads to inadequate onboarding and a failure to convey the transformative possibilities that AI can offer.
