About this episode

Dietmar Fischer discusses an AI maturity framework to help organizations assess their AI readiness and improve business outcomes.

Many companies believe they are adopting AI successfully because employees use ChatGPT every day. But are they actually creating business value? In this solo episode, Dietmar Fischer explores a practical AI maturity framework developed by Section AI and Prof G AI that helps organizations understand where employees really stand on their AI journey. The discussion reveals why two people can both call themselves AI beginners while having completely different levels of experience and business impact.
