There’s no shortage of negative headlines about AI, but I’m firmly in the camp that believes AI can be a force for good.

It has the potential to create jobs, not just eliminate them. To amplify creativity, not replace it. And to help organisations work smarter and deliver better outcomes.

That said, AI adoption needs to be managed responsibly. Many organisations are already facing challenges around Shadow AI, data security, and governance. Before rushing into new tools and use cases, the first step should be understanding what AI is already being used across the business.

That’s why I believe every organisation should start with an AI inventory and a clear AI policy. These foundational steps provide the visibility, governance, and guardrails needed to embrace AI safely and effectively.
