Enough with the AI FOMO, go slow-mo, says Domo CDO
In a recent interview with The Register, Domo's Chief Digital Officer (CDO) urged businesses to curb their AI enthusiasm and instead take a measured, 'slow-mo' approach to implementation. The CDO argued that the current hype around AI, fueled by FOMO (fear of missing out), leads many organizations to deploy tools without clear use cases or ROI, resulting in wasted time and money. Instead, companies should focus on small, iterative projects that solve specific problems, gradually building AI capabilities. This pragmatic strategy, the CDO noted, helps avoid the pitfalls of over-investment and ensures that AI initiatives deliver tangible business value. The advice comes as many firms scramble to integrate generative AI, often without a coherent strategy.
Developers should prioritize practical AI integration over hype to avoid wasted effort.
