> Some devs in my org have fully embraced AI; some would not even use AI

So if the people who embrace AI areore successful then the others will follow. Just like every other new tech. Why does AI have to be forced? What's the hurry? Especially when there's no clear example of a company jumping ahead because of their use of it.

It's idiots being driven by FUD. That's the reason.

There are definitely key windows here for innovation driven by competition.

There's also a need to quickly adopt and understand the technology; take the Internet for example. If we were talking about the Internet, forcing teams to build and publish web pages would be one valid way to get teams comfortable with the tech, the workflow, the shift in how to propagate and convey information to an audience.

Without a mandate, many teams won't adopt the Internet as a medium of information exchange because their processes work just fine and have worked for the last 20 years.

I think it's fair to put AI in a similar light. Unless teams adopt it and use it, it's hard for an org to understand how to get value out of this technology and how it affects existing processes and assumptions.

I was programming desktop applications when the web came along. I don't remember anyone ever saying they had been mandated to program for it.

The web took off all by itself because it had a clear value proposition for some use cases.

Many enterprises became legacy because of the web, many enterprises failed because they didn't understand the impact of the tech.

Sears was the OG Amazon. Imagine if Sears had seen it as the new digital catalog.

Blockbuster missed on streaming until it was too late.

Many, many legacy companies did not understand the web and did not understand the impact of the Internet to their business model.
