Roadmapping a Successful AI journey: From Grassroots to Board Rooms
summary
Outlines eight practical checkpoints from grassroots prototypes to board-level strategy, arguing that companies must measure proofs of value not POCs, hire top AI talent and colocate them for rapid prototyping, and budget €50–100M to scale successful pilots. Notes AI often works without decades of legacy data (use external feeds or cameras), cites AlphGo’s shift from human-game data to self-play, and quantifies scarcity with a global pool of about 10,000 experts.
