Recently, I encountered a provocative LinkedIn discussion that sparked my thoughts about AI expertise. The image shared was simple yet profound, raising a critical question about who truly understands artificial intelligence.
Let me be clear: I’m not here to diminish the incredible capabilities of young, motivated entrepreneurs. They bring energy, digital fluency, and innovative thinking. But I want to extend a direct invitation to senior professionals: it’s time to step into the AI conversation.
Why Senior Professionals Matter in AI
As someone who works closely with startups and technology ecosystems, I’ve observed a significant gap. Many discussions around AI are drowning in buzzwords and technological hype. What we desperately need is expertise that can navigate technological capabilities, align AI with genuine business values, and understand real commercial benefits.
Technology alone isn’t the solution. AI is ultimately used by people, which means understanding business logic is crucial, and this is where seasoned professionals bring something invaluable: strategic insight.
We would like to encourage professionals in the later stages of their careers to embrace AI. You have expertise that is not just relevant—it’s essential. Your ability to interpret complex business needs, assess technological potential, and align innovation with organizational culture are your superpower in the AI revolution.
A Collaborative Path Forward
At edisconet, we’re passionate about bridging this generational knowledge gap. The responsibility to shape AI’s future doesn’t rest solely on technologists or digital natives. It requires input from all generations, particularly those with decades of experience navigating complex business landscapes. This is a big opportunity.
A successful AI implementation requires the best of both worlds: the drive to explore innovative technologies and the organizational experience to adapt them effectively. This understanding is at the core of what we do, and it’s why we’re proud to be a member of focus50plus. Led by Hans Rupli and his dedicated team, focus50plus is doing exceptional work in building these crucial bridges in today’s dynamic working environment.

AI’s future isn’t about technology alone—it’s about people, experience, and strategic vision. We are at the crucial spot where we all can greatly shape the future of the AI.
