Product Development is the only team that can answer the question "what should AI do for our customers?" That conversation - from widgets to intelligence - is where new revenue lives.

IT, Marketing, and Operations can all claim ownership of your AI strategy. Committees claim nothing. The right owner is defined by what they can see, connect, and serve.
