It's the people.

What's one question you wish you'd asked before taking a job?

Most leaders worry about competitors pulling ahead with AI.

Fewer ask whether parts of their own workforce are falling behind.

Leaders may be creating a divide between those who get the opportunity to build AI capability and those who don't.
