Generative AI is rapidly integrating into the daily operations of M&A, with an increasing number of use cases coming to light. How should companies strategically navigate this evolving landscape?

I ran across another interesting article about AI. This one is written by Anil Cheriyan at Phase IV Ventures. He organizes this article around 4 key questions related to AI that an organization needs to answer: 1.  Should I build or buy foundational models? 2.  How much is this going to cost? 3.  How will I manage the risks? 4.  Do I have the right talent to make this happen? As I was reading this I noticed that these 4 questions are key which need to be answered for nearly of IT's responsibilities. Not just new ones like AI. What do you think? What other questions does an enterprise need to answer as they consider their AI investment? #itleadership #ai #buildvsbuy
