For those of you who were offended by the gendered parenting roles in the preceding two sections, please forgive and get over it. We abandon all gender references when it comes to the kids.

AI systems are like children: Each is unique. You could compare them to fingerprints or snowflakes for the same reason: No two copy each other exactly as they do their work, even if they do the same job and process similar data. And in many cases, we are not quite sure how they actually come up with the results that they do, even if we know the data they come from.

AI algorithms adjust their inner workings according to the results they are trained to output, given the inputs. In that sense, you could almost call them “organic,” if not really “alive.”

If you adopt an AI system into your organization to improve one of your business processes, then it will rapidly become your own, unique tool. AI software does not come “out of the box,” and even if you do use a vendor’s software-as-a-service (SaaS), trained on your data, the AI system will really be all your own.
