A guide to safe AI adoption in organisations

10 steps to implementing AI

 

In a time where technological advancement, development, and automation are essential to business innovation and overall strategy, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is, for many, seen as the next necessary step to remain competitive and lead the way in the modern and future way of working.

A successful implementation of AI in an organisation can not only increase efficiency but also open the door to new opportunities and improvements in various processes across the organisation. A relevant question to ask is: how do you best get started integrating and implementing AI in existing workflows or entirely new projects?

Below are some key points that can help guide you through the many different AI solutions, if you are planning to adopt AI:

Enginering

To ensure a successful implementation of AI, it is essential that the leadership has taken a clear stance on the use of AI and is engaged and aware of its importance. This applies not only from a financial perspective but also in terms of decision-making and overall communication. Leadership must act as advocates and motivators to ensure successful AI implementation in line with the organisation’s strategy.

The first step is to clearly understand how AI can help solve specific challenges or optimise processes in your organisation. Identify areas where automation and data-driven decisions can create value in day-to-day operations. This will form the foundation for a targeted and effective implementation strategy.

A successful implementation of AI requires competencies. It is therefore important to form a team or appoint a responsible employee with expertise in areas such as data science, machine learning, and software development.

Effective use of AI is directly dependent on the quality of the data available and used in the process. You should collect and organise relevant data from appropriate sources and ensure it is ready for analysis. It is important to remember that the quality of input data is crucial for the accuracy and performance of AI.

There is a vast range of AI solutions, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. It is important to choose the solutions that best match your business needs and objectives. One example of optimisation could be automating routine tasks.

To minimise risks and ease the transition to an organisation where AI plays a significant role, AI should be implemented gradually or in smaller phases. Starting with small pilot projects can often create value by testing solutions before full-scale implementation. This allows for adjustments based on actual results and feedback.

To ensure successful AI integration in your organisation, it is crucial that employees receive the necessary training and education. This training should ensure that employees are familiar with the new technologies and understand how to use AI solutions most effectively. Ongoing training may also be beneficial to stay updated on the latest technological advancements.

Overall, AI implementation is a dynamic process. Ongoing evaluation of AI performance in relation to goals and expectations should be conducted. Feedback from employees should be used to make necessary adjustments and improvements. Continuous monitoring and evaluation help ensure that AI remains a valuable tool for your organisation.

As part of initiating and continuing AI work, it is important to stay updated on the legal developments in the field. Currently, an EU regulation on AI is underway and is expected to be adopted soon. Therefore, it is relevant to familiarise yourself with the content already, if you plan to work with AI on a larger scale.


If you have not already done so, a clear and accessible guideline should be in place, instructing employees on how to best integrate AI solutions into daily workflows, and setting boundaries for how AI may and may not be used.
