"Some people have looked at AI as the silver bullet to cure all of their problems. The reality is that AI is not a silver bullet, but is in fact a multiplier. Used well, AI can make people and processes more efficient, see things we cannot see through large data sets, and help us create. There is a lot of promise in AI, and it can be revolutionary for those that find the appropriate use cases and use AI to drive outcomes. If we look to see how it can multiply our efforts, then we can realize a lot of the value AI can bring."
