A short single-speaker talk advising business leaders to prioritize AI literacy and strategic adoption. The speaker urges daily practice with AI as a 'thought partner' to build familiarity, and emphasizes that AI is a means to drive growth—strategy first, technology second.
AI is the future. It's here. Developing a level of literacy and understanding how to use it is really important because there's massive advantages that can be had by the leaders that learn how to harness this strategically. So it's really easy to get consumed with all the other things that are on your plate. I would invest the time, it's literally once a day asking how my AI helped me do this and taking a task that you would have tried to solve on your own. Now bring your thought partner in and have it try to solve it with you just so that you get a level of AI literacy. That would probably be the most important thing that I would say to people. And the other is you have to remember what's the purpose of AI. AI adoption is not the goal of your organization. Driving growth is. And so this is where I firmly believe you have to go. Strategy first, technology second.
