  Competitive advantage is not the tools you use; it is how well you have trained your people. Introduction – The Missing Link in Getting AI Into The Workplace Many organisations are investing heavily in AI across many industries.

Imagine a teacher spending hours evaluating essays when AI could help provide initial feedback in seconds. Both situations reveal the promise and the danger of generative AI in education.
