How should executives decide where to apply AI?

Question

Accepted Answer

_Start with the problem, not the tool, and the right use of AI emerges on its own._

> You don't start with the tool, you start with the problem, and then it naturally emerges which tools are best to use. If you want a house, you start with wanting the house, then find the materials and skilled people. You don't start with a screwdriver and ask what you could build with it. AI is like suddenly having a bazooka in your toolbox: it's incredibly powerful, but you still need to aim it and know exactly what to do with it.
