Check out Ravi Srinivasan's thoughts on AI & business leadership
When it comes to an aspect of AI are people overlooking, Ravi shares:
"There's too much attention to the hype of AI. The understanding of what AI is and how to use it and to be effective at it is something I don't believe is being sufficiently explored."
He also shares how businesses can succeed in today’s environment:
"Adaptability is key today, especially because there are so many changes. If you're not agile and nimble and build an adaptive team that can move with you, you'll be doing the same old."
And qualities should leaders look for when building a team:
"The team you've built must be adaptive. There's always been learning. If you have a team around you and they cannot continuously learn and adapt, the company will fail."
