Redesigning the org chart for AI

Each year since 2012, the world has seen a new step function advance in AI capabilities. Fundamental building blocks of intelligence like vision (2012), simple video games (2013), machine translation (2014), complex board games (2015), speech synthesis (2016), image generation (2017), robotic control (2018), and writing text (2019) have all been tackled -- and mastered, at superhuman levels. As research continues to churn out new tools, industry scrambles to harness them. According to McKinsey data, AI will add $13tr to the global economy over the next decade, and organizations will be at the center of this propagation. However, only 8% of organizations surveyed in an HBR study have engaged in core practices that support widespread adoption.
