AI STRATEGY/ADOPTION MODELS
A modern business will often use a number of AI models or may create a platform that covers more than one model/engine e.g. an AI-powered search platform sits mainly under ‘Customer Interaction’ | ‘Insight and Prediction’ or stretched further a domain-specific AI search engine could also blend into augmentation enhancing how humans think and work – all under a governance initiative to ensure responsible use
