November 19, 2024
Democratization of AI in Business Units
AI tools are increasingly accessible to non-technical teams, allowing business units to lead innovation independently. This shift to democratized AI accelerates decision-making across enterprises.
Implications of Business-Led AI
- Empowered Business Units: AI tools like Google AutoML empower departments to deploy AI without IT reliance, enabling agile problem-solving.
- Changing Role of IT: IT’s role shifts to governance, ensuring security and compliance. Nationwide Insurance oversees departmental AI usage while IT ensures data integrity.
