Important context: this comes from BCG, a business strategy firm, not MIT. This paper speaks to executives, NOT people trying to build anything directly. Don't try and read from a tech perspective; it's way higher up in the clouds.

This helps answer the questions: is this worth investing in? What returns can I expect, and when? What types of operating model is needed to put this all together? How can this play alongside everything else I'm running/building/exploring?



I would be very happy if more executives were convinced by slick powerpoints that AI is bust.

Lord knows they don't listen to their technical staff, because they read in a glossy magazine that ML is the future, and only suckers don't have an "AI play".


More specifically, this comes from BCG Gamma, a division working specifically to create AI solutions for large corporations. It’s true, the article addresses executives, not engineers, but the content generally holds.


Yes - definitely not bad content (quite good, in fact), but just not aimed at the traditional HN crowd.
