Piers Linney MBE, AI expert and Executive Chairman & Co-Founder of Implement.AI, warns that 2026 is a make-or-break year for AI strategy in organizations. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and implementing AI technology, which is different from traditional IT projects and requires a change in operational models. Linny also discusses the need for a return on investment and the creation of real value in AI, as well as the potential for small bubbles in AI valuations. He views this as a systemic shift in the use of technology in business and life, not a bubble. Linny encourages organizations to embrace this change and create real value with AI.
