I wish. Our company is still at the "you must adopt and use AI" phase. I'm looking forward to the "Holy fuck that's expensive! Be careful of your usage" phase
We passed the "Holy fuck that's expensive!" phase a few months ago and have moved on to the "Use AI for everything but don't actually do that just use it for some things why [didn't/did] you use AI for that we can't afford the [additional time/Azure bill] hahahahahahahaha." phase. Swap the values in brackets at random on any given day.
My org saw AI as a threat and immediately banned it (blocking websites and restricting features in apps) until our IT folks could evaluate it and implement safeguards. Incidentally, they missed the window when vendors were more or less offering it for free. Now any AI solution doesn’t just have to be vetted against our security and privacy needs, but most likely requires a darn good business case, RFP’s, quotes, and contracts.
It never became a part of the culture here, much to our benefit.
