And is it reasonable to think that maybe organizations are still learning how to bring this new technology and innovation in? I mean, you mentioned during the live webinar that companies should not think of AI adoption using the traditional rigid software adoptions of the past.

Does that help to explain why the early results of AI adoptions are not proving to have an ROI?

So this is the problem that middle market leaders tend to think about AI as an IT project.

Let's say you're adopting a database, like let's say a CRM, customer relationship management software.

You need to have a top-down approach where everyone uses it in a standardized way.

There's some resistance to change, which comes from learning a complex new system and changing habits.

And you can measure whether people are actually putting information into a CRM in the right manner.

So you could segment your customers, direct your messaging to them effectively.

What's human intelligence? What do we bring to the table? We are essentially biological machines.
