Navigating the Treacherous AI Chasm
summary
Maps the gap between prototype and rollout by naming timelines and teams: a 3–6 month prototype phase with a tiny cross-functional team (AI engineers, UX, business) focused on a killer feature, then roughly a one-year productionization phase with product owners, legal, cloud and sales to scale and govern. Recommends measurable innovation pipelines, cultivating storyteller-entrepreneurs, and building an AI center of excellence to consolidate ML, MLOps and cloud talent and decide by revenue, cost and impact metrics.
