Most Companies Aren't Anywhere Near Ready for AI

This article argues that most companies are not ready for AI, not due to technical limitations, but because they lack clear vision, goals, and self-awareness. The author, a consultant for large enterprises, explains that AI is only effective when given precise instructions, and most organizations operate as chaotic black boxes unable to define their problems or strategies. Companies that thrive with AI are those that already understand their objectives and metrics. The piece highlights a fundamental organizational maturity issue rather than a technology gap, warning that many businesses are in grave danger if they cannot articulate what they want AI to execute.
