Praise for Lean AI
Every now and then there is a new super-hyped technology. Most of the hype ends up in the graveyard, right next to companies that used them as their main line of business. AI isnt just hype. AI is defining software, processes, work environments, and decision making in every aspect of our lives. I have no doubt that AI will continue to drive tremendous transformation in digital marketing . Lean AI enables companies to view these dramatic changes as real opportunities .
