Importance of Building Trust and Showing Fast Value

To gain executive buy-in for AI initiatives, it is crucial to prioritize the demonstration of fast and tangible value. Due to skepticism and past unfulfilled promises, executives have become cynical about AI. Therefore, starting with quick projects that can provide measurable outcomes is essential in building internal trust. This allows executives to see the potential of AI and increases their commitment towards future projects. Additionally, starting with relatively simple use cases is advisable because AI projects can fail even when implemented correctly. Failing fast and learning from these failures is crucial for long-term success.
