Most of us feel like we’re late to the AI game — but research says otherwise.
McKinsey shows nearly 80% of companies have started using AI, yet only one in ten have scaled it strategically. Thomson Reuters adds that fewer than a quarter have a clear AI strategy, while PwC finds that budgets and ambitions are rising faster than results.

In this episode, host Kristine Lium talks with Linn Solvang — AI enthusiast and founder of Passion4Fitness — about what AI readiness really means. Linn shares insights from helping Norwegian businesses assess their readiness and turn curiosity into action.

Together, we explore:

• The gap between personal and professional readiness

• Why organizations stall between intention and action

• How openness and sharing speed up adoption
