They recognize that AI matters, decide &ldquo;we should do something with it,&rdquo; and then assign one or two people to explore it. Juniors. Or an enthusiast. Or someone who happens to be between projects. Let someone figure out what it can do first, then we&rsquo;ll see.</p> <p>That sounds reasonable. It is strategically unwise.</p> <p>The real value of AI lies in seeing more clearly what needs to change — which steps have become redundant, what needs to be built, where competitive advantage emerges. That kind of judgment belongs to the people with the most experience, the most context, and the most responsibility. AI adoption therefore belongs in the center of the organization. With your best people.</p>
