In this episode, Merv Adrian and Shawn Rogers join Carsten Bange to discuss optimizing architecture for AI innovation. The conversation highlights findings from their research, which found that only 20% of organizations are highly ready for AI adoption.

Integration – both technical and organizational – was identified as a major challenge. They emphasize the importance of building trust in AI outcomes and implementing responsible AI practices. A strong data foundation and the use of specialized AI models are key enablers for AI success.
The episode also introduces the next phase of research, “Lessons from the Leading Edge for AI”, which will focus on best practices from top AI adopters.
