Some organizations are under pressure to cut headcount, assuming AI can fully replace certain tasks. In my view, that’s often a shortsighted perspective. After reviewing multiple AI deployments in real-world scenarios, a recurring theme emerged; it’s not AI technology that’s failing, but how it’s being used. I want to be very clear, that I’m not
