AI Operating Systems: The Next Level of AI for Business

In this episode of the AI Explored podcast, Michael Stelzner interviews Dr. Nici Sweeney about building ethical and sustainable AI systems for businesses. Dr. Sweeney outlines a five-level AI maturity index, progressing from basic prompting to AI operating systems, and emphasizes the importance of ethical AI implementation for competitive advantage and brand protection. She details how to start building an AI operating system by defining roles and responsibilities, using tools like Notion for knowledge management and Make.com or N8N for automation, and cautions against common pitfalls like overwhelm and premature adoption of advanced AI tools. Dr. Sweeney advocates for a collaborative approach, integrating AI to enhance human capabilities rather than replace them, and offers practical advice on getting started with AI implementation in marketing and other business divisions.
