Simple to Ask: Is Your SOC AI Ready? Not Simple to Answer!
Gemini made blog illustration In early 1900s, factory owners bolted the new electric dynamo onto their old, central-shaft-and-pulley systems. They thought they were modernizing, but they were just doing a “retrofit.” The massive productivity boom didn’t arrive until they completely re-architected the factory around the new unit-drive motor (metaphor source). Today’s AI agent slapped onto…
