Muhammad Umar argues that most Fortune 500 companies lack the in-house expertise to scale AI, making system integrators essential bridges. Procter & Gamble illustrates the gap: even with top AI researchers, companies need external integrators to roll out solutions at scale. This creates a major opportunity for AI talent.

So for the business. And by the way There are only 10 to 12 companies out there who are basically tech businesses. Most of the business in the world by the way. I mean we are in the tech so much that we probably think everyone is doing tech. Most of the business in the world are not tech. Right. Out of Fortune 500 companies, I think not more than 6, 7, 4, 8 three companies are non tech. The primary business is not tech. Right? So how they access to the talent or how they access to that infrastructure, the system integrator's job is to acquire this talent. And there's a very new kind of talent. It's not like 10 node JS engineers, it's not like 40 net core engineers. A very different kind of talent. Acquire that talent, root that talent and help these businesses compete with their in the global market. So that's how so. So for example, if you are a proctor at Gamble and you are trying to roll out AI beyond ChatGPT and cursor, you have an incredible researcher who did his, I mean who's leading your program because his PhD from MIT and all that stuff and he's rolling out your program and that's not enough stuff because all the other lot that needs to make AI work is basically in those tech businesses who are giving them 100 million dollar and 10 million dollar and 20 billion dollar or they're building their own business business. So basically these companies are wide open. So they're talking to those system integrators and trying to make things work for them. Which is at some point is working, at some point it's not working. There are some micro innovation hubs within those big organizations, some very few people they have retained. So that's, that's how it's working. What a great time to be an AI researcher.
