Core idea: The real failure pointAfter years inside research centers, national programs, and corporate innovation units, one truth is unavoidable: innovation rarely fails because of weak technology. It fails because lead…
Technology & engineering
AI failures are rarely about the technology itself. Poor system design, incentives, and governance are what cause AI to break down.
