To develop a successful AI strategy, it must be part of an overarching business plan and tied to business priorities and strategic goals. An AI strategy also requires a data strategy to ensure sufficient and relevant data is available for training models. Additionally, ethical and legal issues around privacy, bias, and consent must be considered. Developing AI skills and managing cultural changes are also important to successfully implement an AI strategy.
