| 1 | HIGH | Jeremy Kahn (AI Editor) | Fortune | 10:00 | 07-adoption-challenges | I think that point is not lost on people. My worry is that in reality, it’s not going to happen. Because this is very early stages, right? We’re talking about something that’s two years old, that right out of the gate was great, is getting better. It’s improved by like orders of magnitude, and it has some flaws. |
| 2 | HIGH | Shervin Khodabandeh (Senior Partner) | BCG | 26:19 | 02-corporate-tools | I think the answer is, let us segment the types of use. Let us segment the context. Let us identify the various zones that Gen AI is going to be leveraged in our company. There are some no-fly zones that strategically it’s not going to happen. There are some places where it has maybe not carte blanche, but it is areas where the risks are so low and it doesn’t really matter. |
