Why this topic matters
AI speeds up research, synthesis and presentation, but many strategists use one chatbot for everything and get generic work back. In independent testing, even the most accurate AI search tool got its sources wrong over 1/3 of the time. Tools only work when you know the strategy job they serve and where to check their work. This session starts with those foundations, then shows the stack I use with clients and where human judgment still decides.
