À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
AI can feel overwhelming before it feels useful. Abby Clobridge, founder of FireOak Strategies, joins the host Sreemedha on AIBiz to explain how mission-driven organizations can move past the hype and actually put AI to work.
Abby shares why starting small with one clear use case matters more than chasing every new tool, and why human judgment still has to lead the decisions AI can't make.
