AI Implementation: Navigating the Enterprise Lifecycle for Technical Leaders
summary
Maps the enterprise AI lifecycle from idea intake to production and argues leaders must choose between buy from existing vendor, buy a new specialist, build and own the IP, or ignore; gives concrete signals for each. Cites transformer breakthrough (2017), GPT‑4 GPU compute at $41 million GPU cost, and prototyping tools like Cursor and Jasper allowing rapid low-code prototyping and business cases at ~80% quality. Recommends a use-case-first data strategy rather than a monolithic data lake.
