AI is exploding into our business landscape, and many have argued that its speed of evolution far exceeds that of previous technologies. And while that probably is correct, I can think of at least one monumental technological watershed moment that unfolded in mere weeks, and changed the world forever. The early days of “the war to end all wars” teach us about the problems leaders face when digesting new technologies at speed, and in this episode, I argue those problems are not technical issues themselves.
