Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic fantasy; it’s rapidly transforming the way we work and live. But while the potential benefits of AI are vast, simply adopting a few AI tools won’t magically catapult your organization to success.
Like any transformative technology, AI adoption requires a strategic approach and a clear understanding of your organization’s AI maturity. Let’s explore the five stages of AI maturity and discover where your organization stands on this exciting journey.
Stage 1: AI Unaware

- Lack of skills and resources for AI development or implementation
Stage 2: AI Curious
Organizations at this stage are beginning to explore the potential of AI, often driven by industry trends and competitor actions. They may experiment with basic AI tools or conduct pilot projects, but there’s still a lack of a comprehensive AI strategy.
