Why Skeptics Are Missing the AI Transformation in Salesforce

While everyone's drawing parallels between AI and the Wright Brothers' first flight, I'd argue we're actually at a different point in the aviation timeline – closer to 1914, when commercial aviation was silently transforming transportation while skeptics still dismissed it as a fad.

The Real AI Revolution Is Already Here:

Just as early commercial flights were happening while people debated if planes would ever be practical, Einstein AI is already transforming businesses while skeptics debate its relevance:

- Prediction Builder is quietly automating decision-making processes

- Einstein Discovery is revolutionizing data analysis

- Voice capabilities are changing how users interact with Salesforce

Where We Really Are in the AI Timeline:

The "first flight" moment for AI happened years ago. We're now in the commercialization phase, where the real opportunities lie. Smart professionals are:

- Implementing practical AI solutions for immediate business needs

- Building scalable frameworks for AI integration

- Creating new roles that blend traditional Salesforce skills with AI expertise

The Hidden Opportunities:

The biggest opportunities aren't in cutting-edge features but in:

- Optimizing existing AI implementations

- Creating integration frameworks

- Developing governance structures

- Building user adoption strategies

Stop waiting for the "AI revolution" – it's already here, and the real opportunities are in the practical implementation work happening right now.
