  • AI can significantly increase productivity by automating repetitive tasks, analyzing research, reformatting content, and allowing experts to focus on their core expertise.
  • There are ethical and legal concerns around AI-generated content, such as potential biases, stolen training data, privacy issues, and questions of authorship and intellectual property.

Strategies:

  • Appoint dedicated “AI teams” within different departments to explore AI use cases for the business.
  • Invest in AI education and training for employees to promote AI literacy.
  • Develop clear policies and guidelines for responsible and ethical use of AI, particularly concerning privacy and GDPR.
