The article examines the debate between CTOs and CMOs over leadership of AI initiatives. It argues AI impacts both technology infrastructure and marketing strategies, requiring collaboration rather than unilateral control. The author proposes a framework where departments choose their AI tools, with CTOs ensuring security/integration and CMOs handling marketing objectives. A dedicated Chief AI Officer could mediate cross-departmental needs without dictating tools. The key takeaway is AI strategy should be a cross-functional effort, not dominated by a single role.

AI scholar Kai-Fu Lee warns OpenAI's business model is vulnerable to open-source models like DeepSeek AI's R1, which offer comparable performance at a fraction of the cost. Lee highlights OpenAI's $7-8B annual losses versus DeepSeek's lower operational expenses, suggesting open-source models will dominate as foundational AI becomes commoditized. China's push for AI-driven productivity and DeepSeek's cost efficiency further challenge OpenAI's sustainability.
