What Are The Key Performance Indicators For AI?

In this episode of The AI Moment, Jonathan Wagstaffe and me (Danny Denhard) tackle the most pressing question facing modern executives: How do we actually measure the success of AI?As businesses move past the initial excitement of generative tools, the challenge is to move away from "instinctive" utility and towards rigorous, actionable KPIs that satisfy the boardroom.The discussion centres on moving the goalposts from measuring the AI itself to measuring the impact on existing business metrics. I introduce a robust four-pillar framework for leaders to adopt: Velocity, Quality, Economic, and Strategic. This includes looking at "Keep-Me-Out-Of-Jail" metrics like hallucination rates and the "Human-in-the-Loop" (HITOR) rate - measuring how much human intervention is required to make AI output viable.Sign up to the newsletter >> We go deeper on each & every episode on our supporting newsletter - with more commentary and more insights.
