A few months ago I was offered a position of a Chief Technology Officer in a startup company. For real.

There has been much written (an understatement to be sure) lately about how AI will change the world and, specifically, how it will change businesses and companies. As this article makes clear, the difference between success and failure will rest on, in part, the ability of a company to effectively adopt and use AI throughout their business.
