At first, the AI question seems simple: Which tool should we use?
But once AI moves from demonstration to deployment, selecting the technology is often the easier part. The more important questions concern the business purpose, the data involved, the decisions AI will influence, accountability and what happens after launch.
CEOs do not need to become AI lawyers or technical specialists. But they should make sure the following questions are answered.
1. What problem are we solving?
A powerful AI tool without a clear business problem is still a poor investment. What process should improve? What cost should fall? What decision should become better or faster?
The use case should drive the technology, not the other way around.
