The transition of artificial intelligence from a lab environment to operational deployment often faces significant hurdles. There is a critical gap between creating a machine learning algorithm and building a system that integrates technology, processes, and people effectively.

This approach frames AI as an end-to-end implementation. It shifts the focus toward the interdependent pieces—from infrastructure to human-machine teaming—that allow a system to function in the field. By addressing the specific interfaces and interconnects of the operational environment, organizations can successfully bridge the chasm between prototyping and deployment.

• View AI as a complete system implementation rather than just a mathematical algorithm.
• Evaluate the human-machine teaming spectrum to manage the risks associated with machine action ...
