AI is everywhere. Real impact is not.
Despite years of investment, many teams remain stuck between pilot projects and production. Industry research shows that only about 25–30% of organizations have moved a meaningful share of AI initiatives into production. The gap is rarely about the model itself. More often, it comes down to leadership, operating models, governance, and integration.
During this conversation, we’ll explore:
- Why the pilot-to-production gap persists
- What leaders often underestimate when scaling AI
- Why human guidance still matters
- How to balance innovation with accountability
Our speakers bring hands-on experience building, funding, researching, and leading AI initiatives across industries. Expect grounded insights, practical perspectives, and an open exchange shaped by real-world experience.
After the panel, stay to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and talk through the real challenges you’re facing in your own projects.
