How to Build an AI Moat for Your Business (Without Consultants)

Every business owner is asking how to build an AI moat, but most are going about it the wrong way. I sat down with Alberto Rizzoli, CEO of V7 Labs, who argues that hiring expensive AI consultants is a "recipe for disaster". He shares his framework for How to Build an AI Moat for Your Business (Without Consultants) by starting with small, internal experiments, finding your in-house "tinkerers," and hiring AI-enabled talent. We also discuss how AI agents are transforming workflows, the surprising AI adoption gap between the US and Europe, and why learning to manage AI is the #1 skill for future job security. This is an essential guide for any leader looking to future-proof their business. Check out the company: https://www.v7labs.com
