Someone asks what the AI strategy is. Everyone nods. Someone mentions the ChatGPT licences. The meeting moves on. If that scene is familiar, you are not alone, and it is more fixable than it feels.

Up to 80% of enterprise AI initiatives never make it past the pilot stage. The cause is rarely the technology. It's the absence of strategic clarity, accountable ownership, and governance built for execution. Here's how to break the cycle.
The UAE and Saudi Arabia are accelerating their AI regulatory frameworks. What does this mean for CIOs, CDOs, and risk teams? A practical overview of the governance landscape and how to build frameworks that satisfy regulators without stifling innovation.
