A brief YouTube conversation (Tom Burton and Speaker A) about whether organizations should build AI capabilities internally or partner with an external technology provider. The speakers argue in favor of partnering with trusted specialists—citing benefits such as industry understanding, reduced need to develop in-house expertise, and outsourcing technical exploration (e.g., open-source vs proprietary LLM decisions).
