Traditional companies become a risk?

Imagine you are the owner of a small company reaching out to a local bank or a VC firm to ask for funds to help scale up your current company.

It would be highly probable that unless your company is now AI-driven, both investment and loans will unfortunately be politely denied.

Your company would most likely now be considered a high-risk business. It wouldn’t matter if you had no debts and have been profitable for years…

The sole fact that your company is not an AI-driven company would make it a very risky investment, since most “traditional analog” companies are bound to soon be likely challenged or disrupted by a new AI player.

I have advised multiple companies to hire AI engineers in order to authentically claim the magic “AI-driven” catchphrase in their sales pitches, but more importantly, to guarantee they are now no longer a liability to investors. It doesn’t matter if you or your engineers have no idea yet how the hell AI will help improve your products and services.

Trust me, innumerable surprising and fascinating opportunities will appear. After all, many owners of industrial revolution steam powered factories were reportedly initially not convinced electricity was right for them either.
