Elad shares how he identifies winning tech teams and why organizations still treat AI as an experiment rather than a business imperative. He argues that renting “cognition units” could become as common as cloud computing.

“I think AI is dramatically under-hyped because most enterprises have not done anything in it—and that’s where all the money is, all the changes, all the impact, all the jobs, everything.”
