Skate To Where The Puck Is Going…AI

Wayne Gretzky, the great hockey legend, is credited with saying, “Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been.” In reality, he didn’t actually say it. His dad, Walter Gretzky, did (1). Regardless of whether it was Wayne or his dad, the same is true today, but in a different context. Today, it’s time for leaders to skate to where the puck is going - and that’s AI!
Leaders of every company, in every country, (see recent announcements at the Paris AI convention this past week) are watching the daily barrage of news and understanding that AI is impacting every part of our lives - personal, financial and professional. The reason is simple. The global AI market is experiencing rapid growth, its size is staggering, and its disruptive forces and potential are overwhelming.
