Why can an AI pilot produce an impressive result and still fail to create measurable value for the business? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Jitendra "Jit" Putchea, chief operating officer at Tredence, about what the company calls the last mile of AI. This is the gap between generating an insight and making sure it reaches the person, process, and decision where it can produce a useful result. Jit argues that many companies are facing an execution problem rather than a shortage of technology. Models are widely available, and teams can build demonstrations at remarkable speed. The harder task is redesigning a complete workflow so that employees can use AI without leaving one system, checking another, and manually carrying information between the two. Trust, explainability, governance, and continuous evaluation also become harder once a pilot moves from a small group into everyday enterprise operations. We discuss why resistance from employees should not be dismissed as stubbornness. People are trying to understand what AI means for their role, judgment, and future.
