Ah, the modern corporate battle cry: "We're doing AI!" But what does that even mean? Is your company genuinely leveraging artificial intelligence to drive innovation, or did someone just slap "AI-powered" onto your latest PowerPoint deck? Let’s break it down and find out whether you're doing AI—or if AI is doing you.

AI is everywhere right now - from boardrooms to back offices, from your email inbox to that questionable chatbot on your insurance company’s website. But as more organizations rush to “do” AI, one big question hovers: who’s actually steering the ship?

Today we’re cutting through the buzzwords and getting into what it really means to adopt AI, use it responsibly, and avoid being steamrolled by your own digital transformation.

We’re going to explore:
• What it actually means to “do AI”
• Where low-maturity orgs can get real value (without getting hyped)
• Where things can go sideways when AI gets ahead of your data
• And how to take back control before your algorithms start doing the hiring, firing, and Friday playlist
