He emphasizes that AI models and architectures are rapidly evolving, making it crucial for organizations to prioritize decisions that preserve flexibility rather than betting on current dominant technologies. Kumar advises leaders to ask whether their choices maintain optionality, treat data as the durable asset, and are reversible, especially when making long-term technology commitments. AI

IMPACT Emphasizes the need for adaptable AI strategies, suggesting that current model dominance is fleeting and data quality will be key for future differentiation.
