Tobias Zwingmann explains the seven deadly sins of AI. Despite over 70% of companies adopting AI in at least one business function and investments soaring to $276.1 billion, more than 80% of AI projects fail. This high failure rate is often attributed to human behavior and organizational issues rather than technological shortcomings. Common pitfalls include:
๐ช๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ต - ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: "AI isn't a destination you reach - it's a journey you take". "AI is only as good as the people who use it. The human factor decides AI success, not the amount of compute resources you throw at it".
๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ - ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐: "Companies didn't fail because they couldn't adapt. They failed because they were too proud to adapt". "The question isn't whether you can build it... The question is whether you should"
๐๐๐๐ - ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฎ ๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ฒ: "When we get too excited about what AI can do, we tend to forget about what our business actually needs".
๐ฆ๐น๐ผ๐๐ต - ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ถ๐๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐: "Small enough to implement quickly, big enough to matter, clear enough to measure success. The key is to start small, but start NOW. Because while you're analyzing, your competitors are learning".
๐๐น๐๐๐๐ผ๐ป๐ - ๐ง๐ผ๐ผ ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐: "Imagine a starving person suddenly get access to a buffet. That's how some companies approach AI, trying to consume everything at once".
๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ - ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ค๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป๐: "It's better starting in familiar problem domains and exploring use cases with relatively established AI technology before progressing to more advanced, game-changing fields.
๐๐ป๐๐ - ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: "During every gold rush, there are two kinds of people: those digging for gold and those selling shovels. Don't go buying shovels just because everyone around you is buying shovels". "The question isn't What AI tools is everyone buying?, but What problems are we trying to solve?".
Addressing these human and organizational factors is crucial for the success of AI initiatives, underscoring the need for realistic expectations, openness to external solutions, strategic alignment, and sustained commitment.
