  • What challenges have you faced in securing funding for AI projects, and how have you overcome them? Are there specific successes or setbacks that have shaped your approach?
  • Looking ahead, what are the key factors driving your AI budgeting decisions for 2025? How do you plan to measure the success of these investments?
