It's Time for Your Company to Invest in AI. Here's How. - Harvard

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=207198&nl=daily]
How should companies be thinking about investing resources toward AI
capabilities? It's no longer a question of whether to build their own
capabilities or buy them. Instead, they are looking at four different
approaches: build, buy, blend, and partner. Organizations should build
when the capability represents core competitive differentiation, their
data and domain knowledge create unique barriers to entry, long-term
cost efficiency at scale justifies higher upfront investment, or
intellectual property protection is essential to their business model.
They should buy external solutions when speed-to-market is critical,
specialized vendors offer superior expertise, or internal development
costs exceed long-term value creation. Blending-building some
capabilities and systems while buying othersworks best when some
components require customization while others can be standardized, or
when organizations want to maintain control over core algorithms while
leveraging external infrastructure. And strategic partnerships are
optimal when capabilities are essential but non-differentiating,
specialized providers offer superior expertise and technology, or
organizations need flexible service models that adapt to changing
requirements.

On June 24, at 6:50 A.M., Donald Trump posted a message on Truth
Social that might otherwise have been reserved for a diplomatic cable
or at least a highly secure phone line: ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE
BOMBS... IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. He signed the post, continuing in
all caps, DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (as if, in a
post from his personal account, on a social network that he created,
there could be any doubt). This was after he had bombed nuclear sites
in Iran, on June 21st, an action that he also trumpeted on Truth
Social, and it was after he had, more or less unilaterally, announced
a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, theoretically bringing Israel's
recent attacks on Iran's nuclear-development program to a halt. So
far, the ceasefire has largely held, thanks in part, perhaps, to
Trump's continued real-time posting about the conflict, a rare show of
focus from the scattered President. On June 27th, Trump was still
posting, now to complain about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's boasts about
the war's outcome: I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH,
and he does not have to say, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
