Armando J. Perez-Carreno argues that most companies are not failing at AI because the tools are weak. They are failing because nobody owns the messy middle between having access to AI and changing how the work actually gets done.
In this solo episode he explains why every small and medium business needs an internal AI champion, what that role really looks like day to day, and how to build a repeatable adoption muscle inside the company. If your AI effort keeps stalling, the gap might be ownership.
