Jordan Wilson: AI项目失败的原因有很多，看似简单的提高生产力方法却常常失败。 Andy Lin: 企业AI战略中常常缺少“运营肌肉”（operational muscle），即培养团队、构建文化以及高效运营AI的无形能力。在AI战略中，人员、文化和流程与技术同等重要，人员因素尤为关键。AI和数字孪生战略的成功需要跨职能团队协作，不同专业的人员需共同努力。企业对AI的应用可能停留在个人生产力工具层面，忽略了AI对部门和行业未来工作方式的变革作用。生成式AI和大型语言模型的应用远不止个人生产力工具，它能处理非结构化数据，例如在医疗保健领域发现新药。在AI赋能下，特别是自主式AI，员工的自主性可能会受到影响，企业领导者应该如何平衡员工的自主性和AI的应用？企业在全面实施AI的过程中，哪些初始阶段的挑战会带来痛苦？企业在AI实施初期，最大的挑战在于无法解释早期实验结果，需要设定合理的预期，并进行长期努力。构建数字孪生模型应从小处着手，例如从一个床位开始，逐步迭代完善，而非一开始就追求大规模的完整模型。为什么在构建数字孪生模型时，应该从小规模开始，而不是直接追求大规模的、复杂的模型？从小规模开始构建数字孪生模型，有助于达成共识，并通过迭代的方式逐步完善模型，避免一开始就追求大规模而导致失败。在AI实施过程中，模型的可解释性是否至关重要？模型的可解释性非常重要，尤其是在出现错误时，能够解释错误原因。通过构建模块化系统，并确保团队拥有正确的教育机制，可以维护人员、文化和流程。通过实践学习，从小项目开始，组建多元化的跨职能团队，并坚持长期努力，是构建运营肌肉的关键。

Chapters
This chapter explores the reasons behind AI project failures in enterprises. It highlights the often-overlooked importance of 'operational muscle'—the people, processes, and culture—in addition to the technology itself. Building effective teams and fostering the right culture are crucial for success.
  • AI failure is often due to neglecting the people, process, and culture aspects.
  • Operational muscle is key to successful AI implementation.
  • Building cross-functional teams is vital for AI projects.
