Evaluate readiness for AI: select F500 company

please read the decription carefully and the guidance!!
F500 company: Ford motors ,general motors or other automotive company if possible

Guidance:

Draw up a 12-page PPT or Keynote presentation with text notes in each slide (or equivalent of 2000 words (+/-10%)) on the company with rich analytical content on each slide and explanatory slide notes, plus an appendix identifying your survey questions and data sources.

2) Assess this companys current readiness to search, select, develop, implement, and scale AI applications appropriately and responsibly, looking at these three pillars:
– Strategy and governance systems
– Access to data, computing power and talent
– Innovation and operational capabilities
3) Develop actionable recommendations for improving the companys state of AI readiness

Description of Assignment: Evaluate readiness for AI

Please select one F500 corporation and rate its readiness for the AI future in a domain or industry sector of your choice. You will need to determine the criteria used for the measurement as you disclose your work.

Also make sure you differentiate where companies may be ready to integrate AI and where they may instead be at nascent stages of Digital Transformation.

While business managers have widely recognized the strategic importance of AI, implementing and integrating AI remains in early infancy. Because of AIs rapid evolution and the accelerating bloom of new and disruptive cognitive applications, companies will need to develop and commit to an ongoing process that achieves and then maintains preparedness for an era of thinking machines.

July 12th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Economics Comments Off on econmic questions

econmic questions

You will type answers to questions in Word as much as possible. If an answer requires graphs or
equations you will handwrite those two parts of an answer. Be careful to graph things clearly and in
detail. Handwritten equations should be clearly and carefully written
1.
A. Using the IS-MP-FE and AD-A-LRAS model, GRAPH an economy operating at a point
where output is at its full employment level (Y=YFE), the real rate of interest is at its natural rate
(r=rN) and is at the desired rate of inflation (Hint: This is a point of GE, general equilibrium)
B. Starting from a position of GE, suppose the economy is hit by excessive optimism. In other
words, people expect higher future income and firms expect higher future marginal product of
capital. However, the central bank recognizes that there was no change in the level of full
employment output or in their target for inflation. What would the central bank do to keep
these variables operating at these desired levels? Illustrate your answer to this question with a
new graph which shows the initial GE, what excessive optimism does to the graph, and how the
central banks response keeps output and inflation at desired levels.
C. Starting from a position of GE, assume there is a technological improvement. Suppose the
central bank recognizes precisely the change in the level of full employment output that has
occurred, and there is no change in the target for inflation. What would the central bank do to
keep these variables operating at these desired levels? Illustrate your answer to this question
with a new graph which shows the initial GE, what the change in technology does to the graph,
and how the central banks response keeps output and inflation at the desired levels.
