The use of AI can be strategic

Decisions matter. Indeed, it is perhaps the only thing that does. Everything that you do can be framed as a decision to be made. It follows that if you can make them faster, cheaper, and better, you have a decisive advantage.

AI1 lets you Increase your tempo because AI is about making better, faster, cheaper decisions.

This is why it can be strategic.
