A manufacturing company has never formally explored AI opportunities. Different departments have raised disconnected requests, ranging from automation to analytics, but leadership lacks a shared understanding of where AI could realistically help. The Chief Digital Officer CDO, Emily Roberts, wants to involve business leaders, operational staff, and technical advisors early to surface opportunities and build alignment before narrowing scope. At this stage, no specific workflow or department has been selected for deeper analysis.
What should Emily do next to move AI discovery forward?

• A. Ideation Sessions
• B. Value Chain Analysis
• C. Process Mapping
• D. Pain-Point Analysis

A multinational HR organization plans to automate onboarding across regional systems. As the AI Program Manager, you are asked to approve a solution that can plan multi-step onboarding activities, adjust actions based on intermediate outcomes, coordinate across multiple systems, and manage exceptions autonomously while remaining within enterprise governance boundaries. Which approach fits these operational and governance requirements?

• A. RPA with AI extraction
• B. Agentic workflows
• C. Document-based automation
• D. Intelligent automation

As the Chief Information Officer overseeing enterprise AI adoption, you are reviewing monthly adoption reports for presentation to the steering committee. While the total number of active users remains steady, you observe that many employees are using AI only a few times per month, and business unit leaders report that AI is not yet part of daily work routines. You must determine whether engagement reflects habitual use or only occasional interaction before approving further investment in scale. Which metric from the adoption measurements supports this governance assessment?

• A. Adoption rate
• B. Feature adoption rate
• C. Stickiness (DAU/MAU)
• D. Time to First Value

An organization is preparing to train large AI models that require powerful accelerators for short, intensive training sessions. These sessions do not run continuously, but when they do, they demand fast access to high- performance compute resources. An internal review indicates that purchasing and maintaining this level of hardware would lead to long procurement cycles and underutilization of resources outside of training periods.
During discussions, the AI Infrastructure Lead evaluates an approach that provides quick access to advanced accelerators without committing to long-term hardware ownership. Which infrastructure solution best aligns with this need for flexible, high-performance compute access?

• A. Use spot or preemptible instances
• B. Deploy GPUs in on-premise infrastructure
• C. Combine on-premise and cloud compute
• D. Use cloud-based GPU resources

An enterprise is considering deploying an AI solution that will be used across multiple business domains to support various knowledge and language-based tasks. Instead of developing separate AI models for each domain, the solution will be based on a common core capability, with domain-specific adjustments made where necessary. As the AI Portfolio Owner, your role is to ensure that this approach aligns with the company' s broader AI strategy and long-term investment priorities. You must assess the correct classification for this AI model to support future scalability and integration across the organization's diverse functions. Which AI model classification best fits this strategy?

• A. Foundation Models
• B. Machine Learning
• C. Generative AI
• D. Large Language Models
