25 Deploying Artificial Intelligence ^Top diagnostics in cancer and Daimler with Nvidia for in-vehicle com- puting systems.57 Q I: A firm ranking medium on either or both indices can use its ca- pabilities to support others in building or piloting AI solutions, and expect to integrate the learning over time and build the remaining capabilities required to create its own identity in the AI space. Let’s examine each of the factors in the indices. Organizational Readiness Index (ORI) A high level of organizational capabilities, indicated by an AI-enabling culture, the true integration of business and technology, and established customer relationships, determines organizational readiness for adoption of AI. The foremost of requirements for measuring organizational readiness is an AI-enabling culture. In the context of ORI for AI, senior and middle manage- ment should be willing to entertain AI-based ideas, to stake resources for AI-related experiments, and to discuss and debate potential risks of adopt- ing AI and strategize around it. Having one or more decision-makers as AI champions can not only further the culture within the organization but also convince skeptical external stakeholders. Equally important is the willingness among junior management to embrace change. The most common threat that plagues junior-level staff is that of displacement; but existing employees can be sources of value and retraining them for transferability to other functions and business units can help gain greater buy-in. 57 Royal Philips, Philips and PathAI team up to improve breast cancer diagnosis using artificial intelligence tech- nology in big data pathology research, https://www.philips.com/a-w/about/news/archive/standard/news/ press/2017/20170329-philips-and-pathai-team-up-to-improve-breast-cancer-diagnosis.html.
