AI Implementation Drivers Are the Scarcest Resource

The author argues that the scarcest resource in the AI era isn't compute power, but "people who know how to help others use AI."
She notes that if she were graduating college today, she'd spend less time trying to become the "world's best prompt engineer" and more time learning how to drive enterprise AI adoption. Having spoken with healthcare executives almost weekly this year, she observes their main need isn't new model demos, but practical implementation and adoption strategies. Her conclusion: most organizations struggle not from a lack of models, but from a lack of leaders who can guide thousands of employees through workflow transformations.
