How To Start Your Journey To Become An AI Enabled Enterprise?Infrrd
Keeping up with a fast-paced technological world is now a necessity. Questions like: How to initiate automation? and Where they fit in an organization? are being asked among entrepreneurs. This infographic is meant to give some clarity on these queries. Other than that, they also inform you what steps you can take in order to make your company AI enabled.
The numbers tell the story: 84% of C-suite executives believe they must leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve their growth objectives, yet 76% report they struggle with how to scale. With the stakes higher than ever, what can we learn from companies that are successfully scaling AI, achieving nearly 3X the return on investments and an average 32% premium on key financial valuation metrics?
To answer that question, Accenture conducted a landmark global study involving 1,500 C-suite executives from organizations across 16 industries. The aim: Help companies progress on their AI journey, from one-off AI experimentation to gaining a robust organization-wide capability that acts as a source of competitive agility and growth.

AI & DEI: With Great Opportunities Comes Great HR ResponsibilityAggregage
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26184029/ai---dei--with-great-opportunities-comes-great-hr-responsibility
The promise of AI for today’s organizations is real, yet in a frenzied state of experimentation, many stumble to get to a full-scale enterprise. As companies race to discover what generative AI can do, HR must lead conversations about how to balance cutting-edge innovations with integrity, trust, and diversity. Globally, organizations are at a critical intersection of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and AI acceleration. We will explore how AI is rapidly transforming workplace dynamics and decision-making processes. The safety and protection of the workforce have never been more important and need to be co-led by HR to prevent biases and ensure fair and equitable representation in systems, hiring, and the workforce evolution.
We'll cover:
• The opportunities that AI presents and the responsibility of HR
• How to enhance diverse perspectives in use cases
• Increasing collaboration between AI Developers, HR, Legal and IT
Recent advancements in AI will affect all levels of management, from the C-suite to the front line. AI not only presents unprecedented opportunities for value creation, but also daunting challenges for executives and managers.
AI challenges managers to reconsider their roles and redefine operating principles. It will increase collaboration between humans and machines. And it will require managers to adapt their training, performance and talent acquisition strategies.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for decades. But with the stunning progress of key technologies like cloud computing and data analytics, AI is finally making a transformative impact. Just look at how companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft have been investing aggressively in this technology. In fact, Google considers itself an AI-first company.

Why it’s unethical to focus on ‘AI Ethics’Kye Andersson
Reasoning around the danger of using AI ethics as an excuse to AVOID CHANGE and cling on to power.
1.
AI holds the potential for humans to change beyond our limitations.
2.
AI ethics is commonly used excuse, by those in power, to not change.
3.
An excuse that comes at a huge cost for those without power.
Regulations alone protects institutions, but suffocates change
Positive change is powered by incentives, designed based on the future we want to create.
In six months of research prior to setting up the AI Sweden AI ethics lab we were able to find ZERO ethical cases that were specific to AI.
Those who push AI ethics often do not fully understand AI.
And may be hindering progress towards a more ethical world.
It’s much easier to discuss AI Ethics than to actually make critical decisions about what future we want to create.
It’s up to you to you elect democratic representatives with a vision for the future.
Then AI can help create that future.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

02/ Why did we create this checklist? 3
03/ Do you need an AI strategy? 4
04/ How to use the AI business checklist 6
05/ AI business progress tracker 7
06/ Authors & Contact information 8
2. 01/ Executive summary
This AI business checklist is a tool that provides an easy-to-use structure for strategic discussions,
goal setting and critical decisions in your leadership team. A structure that you can use as a business
leader to guide your decisions towards getting full value out of AI technology in your organisation. It
is meant to be a tool that you can return to to guide your progress.
The rest of this document outlines critical areas that will affect your progress towards getting full value out of
AI.
Your organisation can access the full value potential of AI when:
⃞ The CEO is responsible for, and has an inventory of, the business opportunities that AI offers
for the organisation and the industry.
◻ Clearly connected to the organisation’s vision and mission statement.
◻ Valuation of each opportunity
◻ Effort assessment
◻ List of needed requirements to realize each opportunity
⃞ The CXO team regularly takes business critical decisions based on patterns and insights
generated from data with the help of AI.
◻ Patterns and predictions beyond what human analysis, or “experience”, could have
found.
◻ Patterns across multiple areas of operation, using data from across the organisation.
◻ Without necessarily understanding how (the “logic” process) these predictions were
reached.
⃞ Your organisation is clearly structured to leverage AI
◻ Every CXO understands AI and its opportunities for your organisation
◻ Every CXO has a clear plan for how AI will increase the output of their area of
responsibility.
⃞ The organisation has deployed operational AI models in business critical functions, that
augment the current value proposition, business results, innovation ability, speed to market
and problem solving ability.
“AI unlocks the ability for your business to become increasingly
more intelligent, more efficient, more agile and make better
predictions for the future. Naturally the ownership must be with the
CEO.”
3. - Mats Agervi, CEO Combient
02/ Why did we create this checklist?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a term that spans many technologies. Researchers and serious AI-practitioners
often avoid using the word as it has been too associated with Science Fiction and vague theoretical
discussions. Instead they often refer to Deep Learning, Machine learning and other methodologies.
However, in this document we will stick to the term AI for simplicity sake, referring to the method of using
compute power to find patterns in data, to make predictions that augment processes and solve problems
– increasingly faster and better than humans.
Why does a CEO need to care about AI?
An increasing number of the world's economists and business leaders are in agreement that AI and
data driven decisions will be the driving force of innovation and competitiveness. One could very well
argue that it already is, with the six big international companies representing half of the total value on
NASDAQ. By utilizing data driven decision making, these organisations (and many others) are able to
outperform their competitors when it comes to predicting the future in many areas – picking the best
suppliers, designing better products and services, detecting organisational or transformation needs,
at a higher pace because they have shifted to an increasing trust in data for business critical decisions.
“AI is one of the most important things humanity is working on. It’s
more profound than, I don’t know, electricity or fire”
- Sundar Pichai, CEO Alphabet (Google)
We will not present a summary of recent AI related economic impact forecasts from analyst firms in
this document. There are simply too many forecasts with too many variations. An internet search will
give you a variety of forecasts and numbers that you can analyze at your own pace. However, the
common conclusion is that AI will boost your organization's efficiency by lowering the cost of
cognitive power. Furthermore it can help you do things that you could not do before, improving your
products, services and value proposition.
72% of CEOS in outperforming companies list AI as the factor that
will most help them deliver results over the next 2-3 years, while
only 30% of CEOs in underperforming companies list AI as a factor.
- IBM’s 2021 CEO study (3000 CEOs across 50 countries and 26 industries)
4. 03/ Do you need an AI strategy?
The simple answer is NO. In fact having an AI strategy might be an indicator that you are on the
wrong track and will fail to get the full value out of AI for your organization.
What you really do need is to take AI into account in your long term business strategy, and create a
clear roadmap towards getting the full value out of AI. That roadmap must be able to be used, goal
specific, measured and have clear responsibilities defined.
Delegating AI responsibility can be fatal
In an astonishing number of organizations the responsibility for AI lies with IT or R&D. It can be easy
to dismiss AI as a technical question, and it is a common behaviour for how to respond to large
transformations. After all, we have seen this before. When the internet arrived, many business
leaders dismissed it as something technical that would not affect business.
AI has many technical challenges, but they are not the main obstacles. Leadership and organizational
changes, resistance to transformation, and understanding business potential are all factors that affect
the speed and success of your AI journey to a large extent. If you delegate to someone who does not
take all these factors into account you are essentially underequipped on your journey.
“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn
from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent
disinclination to do so.”
- Douglas Adams
Thanks to the accelerating speed of transformation this is the first time in history that we see many
individuals in leadership positions go through a second major technological shift in the span of their
careers. Don’t disregard what is happening this time. There is a good chance that you won’t have time
to catch up.
Do not set up an AI lab. If you do, there’s a good chance that you are procrastinating.
Are you using AI to build a faster horse instead of a car?
There are two different steps for an organization's AI journey. The first is to augment the way you
already conduct your business, making it more efficient. This step is primarily a technical challenge,
while you may not really be changing your way of doing things. The second step however, is the one
that holds more promise of value. This step is where you can change your way of working entirely,
structuring your organization around the capabilities of AI to augment people. Where your
organization starts to trust AI and data in its decision making, and thereby increasing speed,
efficiency and outcome.
Why should a Doctor treat individual symptoms when AI can help analyze all relevant health data,
5. from biometrics to diet to mental stress, and help the Doctor (or nurse) help patients to a healthier
life?
Why should a Teacher teach all children in a class the same information at the same time (when we
know their brains develop at different speeds)? When AI can help the teacher with information on
what each child is most susceptible to at any given time.
Why do you need to understand why a product will sell, if you can trust the data that says it will do so?
That probably has more to do with organizational psychology than technology.
6. 04/ How to use the AI business checklist
So how do you use this document to accelerate your journey towards unlocking AI value for your
organisation? Below are a few suggestions.
a. Present the checklist (or your personal variation of it) to your CXOs & Board
i. Discuss the different sections in the checklist
ii. Assign clear responsibilities
iii. Set up milestones
b. Produce a straightforward action plan for how to progress across the areas on the checklist.
c. Connect the checklist and roadmap to your business plan
i. Incorporate plan in business strategy
ii. Present and anchor with board
d. Make the check list a recurring point on the leadership meeting agenda, and track progress.
On the next page you will find a matrix that can be used to monitor and track AI business progress
across the different sections of the checklist.
