CONTEXT

Whether you're an entrepreneur, a corporate executive, a manager, or an employee, integrating AI tools into your daily workflows can elevate your business to new heights. But why is it crucial not to overlook these technologies, and how can they transform the way we work today?

Harvard Business School professor Karim Lakhani explains it perfectly:
“You don’t take the accounting course to become accountant, but you need to understand accounting so you can be a good business person. Same thing now with digital technologies and machine learning. You need to understand the machine learning stuff and the AI stuff, not because you’re going to become an AI engineer or an AI scientist, but because that is now going to be a critical table stakes for you to understand how business works.” — Harvard Business Review
