Everyone is Talking About AI. Few Are Using It Well

Most organizations know they need to do something with AI. Fewer know what that something should be. Even fewer are measuring whether it's working.

In this episode of Electric Mindset, host Dave Manley talks with Keith Shiner, Engineering Lead Partner at Electric Mind, and Dan Adamson, CEO & Co-Founder of AutoAlign AI, about the gap between AI hype and AI impact inside large organizations. The conversation covers what separates companies that are getting real returns from the ones still stuck in pilot mode, and why leadership buy-in means more than signing off on a budget.
