Shipping 113 local AI projects in 18 months prioritises volume, not enduring value or genuine innovation.
FO Take · Score 40
Shipping 113 local AI projects in under two years is a feat of engineering, not necessarily intelligence. This relentless output often prioritises superficial deployment over genuine impact or sustained relevance. Such a frantic pace suggests a strategic misfire: are we building solutions to problems, or merely demonstrating capability for capability’s sake. What was the net benefit of this technological outpouring?
The strongest counter
Rapid prototyping and deployment, even at a local scale, are crucial for identifying viable AI applications and iterating quickly in a fast-moving field. Quantity can lead to quality through iterative refinement.
