True, but leaders of large organizations always want to fix inefficiencies and presumably failing to. Kinda like saying "if humans stopped fighting wars, most of them would have better quality of life" -- people whose life quality is better at peacetime are already trying to avoid wars, and there's not much more they can do.

OTOH, AI is a practical step a CTO (or CEO or Board or whoever) can take to make the company more efficient (assuming the hype works out).
