AI adoption is accelerating, but for many organizations, real business outcomes are still lagging behind. In this episode of Not Another AI Podcast, I am joined by Shanti Greene and Saharsh Sikaria to explore why success with AI depends on much more than choosing the latest models or tools.
We discuss why data readiness remains the biggest challenge, how semantic layers provide the business context AI needs to deliver accurate insights, and why purposefully built systems generally outperform one-size-fits-all solutions. We also dive into the build-versus-buy debate and share practical guidance for executives looking to move AI from pilot projects to production.
If you're leading AI, data, or digital transformation initiatives, this conversation offers practical insights on building a strong foundation for AI that delivers measurable business value, not just impressive demos.
