- The gap between visionary AI vendors and those unprepared for market demands, and how this disparity impacts success.
- The challenges of achieving data precision for AI-driven decision-making and how it varies across industries.
- A future of cross-industry data sharing, where companies collaborate across value chains to better predict inventory, demand, and pricing.
- Wang's perspective on the five maturity levels of AI and what each level represents in enterprise evolution.
- How cultural values and biases shape AI regulation, and the tension between centralized oversight and allowing AI vendors to self-assess.
