Fishing for AI as a Successful AI Implementation Strategy

In today’s digital new world, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a crucial aspect for organizations across all industries. AI offers the promise of enhanced efficiency, streamlined processes, and predictive data-driven decision-making, enabling businesses to stay ahead of their competition. However, navigating the vast amount of information on AI can be overwhelming. Combine that overwhelming info with the information on what AI uses, data, and it can seem impossible to decide how to use AI and data in your organization. 

In this article, I’m going to share the first key to navigating AI implementation. First, identifying the problem that needs to be addressed by AI. AI isn’t a magic wand which will solve every problem! AI is a tool that provides tailored solutions for unique problems. AI is possible because of people and people don’t want to add extra steps to their work. By knowing what you want to improve with AI, the right AI solutions will remove steps, not add extra ones.

It can be difficult to visualize a successful AI implementation strategy. With AI being so abstract, let’s use an example from the physical world, water and fishing. First, data is water. Just as people cannot survive without water, AI cannot survive without data. In our world, there are lakes, streams, rivers and oceans. In the digital new world, data has the same variety and AI uses that variety to provide different solutions. Now, like water, data mustn’t become stagnant and has to be tested to ensure its quality. Not everyone wants to get immersed in data but they do want the right AI tool for their unique needs.

Following that visual stream, there are ways to implement AI in business by finding the right AI tool without becoming immersed in data. This is just like fishing, where you carefully select the right tools to catch specific fish, you need the right AI strategy to achieve your desired outcomes. This way you’ll stay dry without getting immersed in the overwhelming sea of data.

Fishing for AI:

Fishing for AI represents the surface-level use of AI programs, where businesses and individuals utilize AI tools to enhance their workflows, productivity, and customer experiences. Think of it as casting a line and reeling in specific solutions to address targeted needs. This approach is ideal for teams, smaller businesses, or specific projects. Here are three examples that can businesses can “fish” for when needing to address a specific need:

1. Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants like Intercom are increasingly popular in customer support. They help businesses provide 24/7 assistance to customers, quickly answering common questions or redirecting customers to a customer service representative for uncommon questions.

2. Content Creation: AI-generated content tools like ChatGPT and Copy.ai quickly produce engaging articles, blogs, and marketing materials, saving time and boosting productivity by 50%  for content creators. 

3. Intelligent Integrations: Lesser known than SaaS, (Integration Platforms as a Service) iPaaS are cloud based platforms that integrate data, applications and processes across multiple systems. Tools such as Zapier create automated workflows across multiple apps, a necessity for the digital new world. 

When fishing you don’t throw out a line hoping for a whale. That would cause more problems than could be solved! Similarly, when Fishing for AI it’s about casting a line and reeling in specific AI programs to address specific needs. By knowing what you, your team, your department or your business needs, then you can find the right AI program to address those needs. By focusing on that and not becoming overwhelmed by the vast information on AI, you’ll be primed for success. 

Wrapping up, successful AI implementation is the catalyst for greater quality, innovation, and creative thinking within your organization. Embracing AI can lead to enhanced capacity and efficiency, driving your business to new heights.  By choosing to focus on fishing for AI with AI programs that address immediate needs, it’s crucial to have the right guidance and keep you from being overwhelmed.
