The premise

Most AI programs put too much weight on one large initiative. This talk makes the case for a portfolio of fast experiments, direct contact with users, and prototypes that are allowed to die.

Audience leaves with

  1. Why one large AI bet is usually the wrong unit of work.
  2. How gravel-road prototypes create evidence before commitment.
  3. The organizational conditions that let useful experiments survive.
