Everyone's looking for ways to implement AI solutions, but integrating them into existing systems means entering uncharted territory.

Despite the hype cycle, a majority of enterprise customers “are spending 70-80% of their capacity maintaining legacy application infrastructure,” said Jeremiah Stone, CTO of SnapLogic.

As a result, these companies often lack the necessary talent to effectively assess or integrate AI, making compliance and security the two biggest challenges for AI-first founders.

To overcome these and other adoption barriers, early-stage CEOs need to become educators and great listeners before they can ever act as salespeople.

In this episode, I interviewed Jeremiah to learn more about identifying and overcoming barriers to AI adoption, strategies for effective customer engagement and the importance of transparency and iterative experimentation in AI development.
