“You've got to implement AI in specific areas to demonstrate quick wins while developing those longer-term strategies for wider integration," Lisa Weaver-Lambert says. “Having a human-in-the-loop approach is absolutely critical. So, you've got to think big, start small, and scale fast.”
Podcast The AI Sidekick is here to help you understand what AI can do right now—and what it can’t.
Lisa worked at Microsoft and as operating partner at Montague Private Equity before writing the AI Value Playbook.
Host Ryan Heath explains that while he sees that AI agents in theory are capable of a huge amount of work, in practice you need people to be ready to adopt the technology.
“We find that a lot of people are taking their first baby steps into AI.”
He says: “People have gotten so confused at the PR success of ChatGPT that they think AI is ChatGPT sometimes. And when it comes to a legal task, well, you don't want your AI tool to be trained on every piece of nonsense on the internet that isn't actually going to solve many of your legal challenges.”
