That's not easy when investors and the media jump on the bandwagon of the supposed next big thing, and cries of "Don't get left behind!" drown out clear-eyed discussion of value-generating use cases.

For organizations on the forefront of implementing Al-based decision support models, we offer insight into how to dissect developers' performance claims and determine the quality of Al tools' recommendations.

Their guidance can help managers who are considering similar tools to ask the right questions of vendors and developers.
