Summary

Most companies mistake buying AI tools for AI readiness. Dr. Fern Halper, VP and Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics at TDWI and founder of the AI Foundations Group, explains why AI adoption fails at scale without the right systematic foundations. The conversation covers the organizational systems missing from most AI initiatives, the distinction between deploying tools and building AI as a repeatable capability, and why original thought grows more valuable as AI-generated content saturates the market.
