Your observation that “those working in enterprise AI must build close relationships with prospective customers and deeply understand their problems. This ensures that products that are being built address real needs” should be put on a plaque at the entrance to every company trying to deploy AI. AI should be subjected to the same analysis as any software - what is its purpose? and does it answer the need better than other options? Believing in the hype and being worried about being left behind are natural concerns - but they should be balanced with some analysis.
Yeah, I agree. To be clear, I’m very bullish on AI, but I also think that those who are trying to sell AI solutions to the enterprise need to understand their customers’ problems well, and be sure they are building products that solve those problems.
