    working at a medium sized enterprise, about $100m in profit a year.

    we got a new CEO. The old one refused, REFUSED, to implement AI in anything we did outside of alerting and monitoring.

    new CEO within a week made an announcement that we were developing our own AI model to interact with customers etc.

    at least I know the real reason why the board replaced the last CEO.
