How to Use AI in Business Without Falling for the Hype with Dr. Fern Halper

How Business Leaders Can Create Real Value with AI with Dr. Fern Halper Business leaders everywhere are being told they need to “use AI” before they get left behind. Wonderful. Helpful. Not terrifying at all. In this episode of Marc Haine Live, Marc sits down with Dr. Fern Halper, Founder of the AI Foundations Group, VP and Senior Research Director for TDWI, and author of Data Makes the World Go ’Round: The Data, Tech, and Trust Behind AI Success. Together, Marc and Fern explore why AI adoption is not just a technology issue. It is a leadership issue, a data issue, a trust issue, a workflow issue, and, yes, sometimes a “maybe we should stop clicking buttons and call this a strategy meeting” issue.
