The VP of AI Trap: Why Hiring One Exec Won’t Transform Your Company. In Fact, It May Make It Worse.
- Hiring a 'VP of AI' often creates a silo mentality in organizations, hindering integrated AI implementation across functions.
- Successful AI implementation requires a culture where AI thinking is ingrained at all organizational levels.
