- Companies should be clear-eyed about the total cost over time of an AI project, including the resources needed to sustain it and the increasing marginal cost of running large models.
- Before embarking on an AI initiative, companies should ask why they are the ones to do it and whether they have a defensive moat such as preferential access to data or proprietary insights.
- Companies should be willing to see through the AI bets they make, whether they are aimed at improving existing products, expanding into new sectors, or cannibalizing current business with new technology.
