AI a buzzword?

Over the past few months, I have had various conversations with business people from different sectors such as transportation, healthcare, and government. My professional focus is on data science, but in my personal projects, I am creating AI applications. What struck me was the hesitation of many companies when it comes to AI. They often seem to view it as a 'buzzword', which both surprises and concerns me.

AI, when correctly applied and well-informed about aspects such as privacy, can be an extremely effective tool to increase productivity and streamline work processes, especially when it is used internally with company data. An example of this is the use of ChatGPT in corporate environments, where companies can benefit from the technology without sharing sensitive data with external parties. At the same time, the fear of AI appears to mainly stem from misconceptions and a lack of proper information. It is crucial to emphasize that AI is not intended to replace human employees, but rather to enhance their capabilities by taking over repetitive and routine tasks.

A first step in getting companies to collaborate more with AI is to bridge this knowledge and understanding gap. This can help businesses see the real benefits of AI and use it effectively. I am curious about your experiences. How do you perceive AI in the business world, and how do you deal with the challenges and opportunities this perception brings?
