Artificial intelligence used to only be in the realm of the techy people, but recent evolution has leveled the playing field. Now, anyone can use it, and as a result, it has been a major topic of conversation across multiple industries.

Here on the Built Right podcast, we talk with Heather Murray, Founder of AI for Non-Techies, about the growth of AI and how and why companies should integrate it within their processes. As a self-proclaimed non-technical person, Heather dove into the world of generative AI and found it fascinating that now anyone can utilize it. Now, she teaches other companies about the value of using AI and the possibilities it opens up.

We dig into why AI is such a hot topic at the moment, why many people are still resistant to it, and how both enterprise-level and SMBs can implement AI tools. She introduces her AI Maturity Matrix to help businesses go from of AI awareness to optimization – video content on how to use this can be found on LinkedIn, YouTube and TikTok.
