Distinguishing between the AI hype and AI reality isn't straightforward. Understanding what will actually have a real-world impact and deliver ROI comes with practical experience or leveraging others with the knowledge and expertise. This is what I learnt.

I was thinking about how we moved from the AI "hype" to AI permeating almost all of our day-to-day lives. Whether for business or personal use, it seems here to stay and expand. My conversations on AI a year or two ago were mostly speculative. Today, AI shows up in nearly every conversation, ranging from solutions and tools to influencing strategic decisions.
