AI can now help a small team produce output that used to take a much larger one. But that's not the same as the organization becoming more capable — and for a lot of businesses, the gap between "we use AI" and "AI is actually useful in daily operations" is bigger than it looks. This section covers two series: readiness (the conditions that determine whether AI is actually useful) and AI control (when AI agents start acting, not just answering).
