Lets pull back to Earth, it is clear that AI skills are in demand, now enterprises have a few options. Could they hire an external partner or contractors? Yes, however many companies are thinking long-term by investing in building an internal capability. Equipped with my intuition and experiences delivering innovative AI solutions to government I was given this task in my company. I stumbled into hidden traps, pitfalls covered in the fog of the unknown and raging fires that threatened to burn the project. In this talk I will share the most valuable rules I discovered, enabling enterprises to grasp the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - artificial intelligence capability.
