Six Steps to an Intelligent AI Strategy: The AI Readiness Toolkit

Are you a startup seeking to prepare yourself for artificial intelligence (AI), but don’t yet have a concrete strategy in place? Perhaps you are a well-established data-centric organization that wants to assess return on investment and areas of strength and weakness. Or you are an investor looking for a way to quantitatively assess your portfolio. Catalyst Fund’s new AI Readiness Toolkit can help you.

Seemingly, everyone has something to say about the abundance of data, and the potential of AI to harness them. However, for most organizations, including startups, reality lags far behind these lofty statements and leadership is frequently left drowning in data while still thirsting for insights.

BFA is determined to de-hype AI and bring it into practical terms so that more startups can benefit from its power. To this end, we have developed the AI Readiness Toolkit to guide startups to approaching AI in a systematic way. This toolkit builds on BFA’s “AI: Practical Superpowers” Report, which gives startups a high-level readiness framework to orient on the step to take towards “Practical AI.”
