Big business has shown small firms what to do – and what not to do – with AI | Gene Marks
TL;DR
Small business owners have watched large companies fumble – and sometimes succeed – with AI, and then use what works One thing I’ve learned about corporate America is that what it succeeds at ultimately trickles down to benefit small businesses. Bleeding-edge technologies such as the internet, mobile transactions and the cloud were first perfected by large organizations – government and corporations – and now they’re available to the masses at a much lower cost and with better reliability.
Nauti's Take
The opportunity is concrete: small firms get to study enterprise AI failures for free instead of paying for them. The catch is that large companies fail with budgets and teams a ten person shop never had, so the lessons rarely transfer one to one.
Teams with thin resources should test one narrow use case rather than copy a corporate playbook.
