9 | |DECEMBER 2025AI is not just applying advanced analysis and logic-based techniques, like Excel, machine learning (ML), to support decision making. But AI also needs to automatically perform intelligent actions for humans.additionally start with something that users really needed or they believe AI can help.`AI Do or Buy', Do: If you have skillful resources; your business ideas are innovative and future proprietary; general products can not satisfy business needs, this can range from AI mathematical models are niches/complex and need to use thousands of computers to compute. Buy: when you find the products available right away in the market;compare financial benefits and give you profit margins; you don't have time to develop, based on my experience AI development takes 6 months minimum, 1 year average. As, AI is an iterative process - build trust with users, show satisfactory outcomes, and take buy-in to continue within the organization - this takes time.AI action plan start with how many people and skills; business models; processes, stakeholders; establish team to define success metrics; identify approach (AI to augment only or automate execution); timeline to complete an AI project; computing power and cloud adoption; computing scalability; tools & processes and procedures using ML/Ops to streamline operations.Risks and drawbacks in adopting AI: expectations where there is an expectation AI can be implemented quickly. Sometime we may not be lucky to get the right model and accuracy. We need to make our expectations clear; data is not sufficient or quality of data is not met; executive and users are not supporting AI projects, as some users may resist or afraid of losing control/job; AI Security, fairness and ethics, these to be discussed at the early stages; corporate culture, such as meetings, presentations, trainings and administrative works which deprive AI engineers' time to model, perform mathematical analysis, and code hundreds of computers in order to achieve business benefits. I hope with the trend of AI, we can expect organizations to adopt AI successfully and improve business benefits. Kreecha Puphaiboon
