The difficult part isn't adopting AI, it's knowing what to do with it. The difficult thing is not adopting AI, it's knowing what to do with it

A study from MIT published in 2025 concluded that 95% of generative Artificial Intelligence projects in companies do not generate measurable returns, not due to lack of technology, but due to lack of method. Many organizations are automating inefficiency at the speed of AI. The question is no longer whether we should adopt AI, as the technology is already present in organizations, in processes, and in day-to-day decisions, from software development to data analysis, from operations to recruitment, from marketing to customer support.

The real challenge is no longer in AI adoption and has shifted to governing, integrating, and measuring. Most companies do not have an AI strategy, but rather scattered experimentation. The competitive difference begins when an organization can transform experimentation into scale, efficiency into impact, and technology into sustainable value.

The pressure to adopt technology is a risk when there is no clarity about data, security, governance, talent, and responsibility. AI without governance does not scale intelligence, it scales risk. Scattered data, unclear processes, non-transparent decisions, and poorly defined responsibilities become faster, harder to control, and more expensive to correct.

The potential of AI does not lie in doing faster what was already being done, but in doing it better, deciding with more context, anticipating problems, and freeing teams from repetitive tasks. Governing AI means knowing what data is being used, what models are involved, what decisions are supported by technology, and what impact those decisions may have. Trust in AI is built with transparency, consistency, and measurable results, and not with promises.

New York to ban use of AI in public schools through high school; understand the decision

The city of New York will prohibit the use of artificial intelligence by students in public schools until the eighth grade, a measure that will be implemented after protests from teachers and parents against the technology due to concerns about mental health, cognitive development, and environmental impact on children. The use of AI will only be allowed in high school, starting in the ninth grade, and even then restricted to specific situations, such as learning about artificial intelligence itself.
