Panel: Can AI transform business?
summary
Panelists argue that AI is an enabler not a magic wand, showing concrete pilots: developer copilot trials with ~10% early adoption, customer-care assistants that auto-classify and resolve ~80% of routine requests, and sandboxed call-center experiments that cut response time (email coupon resolved within an hour). Recommendations: start with small iterative bets, fund grassroots power users before centralizing, focus on reskilling and data quality, and avoid giant one-off investments like $20M without staged validation.
