This case study falls a little short of my vision for Automation World when we began 20 years ago. I wanted to make the team of people the heroes of the story, not the product. This splits the difference.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

AI has arrived. Everywhere you look, everything you read, and everything you hear, AI is said to be the big “what’s next”. The truth is, it has been slowly creeping into our lives for years, but it wasn’t until the “whiz-bang” emergence of ChatGPT that it caught mainstream attention. As a quick summary, artificial intelligence (AI) technology aims to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving tasks by rationalizing data and taking action to achieve a specific goal.
