Great discussion at today’s Bennett School lunchtime seminar👏
@johnlpoquiz.bsky.social & Nghi Nguyen shared early findings on why AI adoption is stalling in parts of the real economy—and what firms need to make it work.
Look out for their research paper on firms' AI adoption coming out in March.

In early Islam, people counted their dhikr (remembrance of God) using their fingers or small stones. By the 8th century, prayer beads called misbaha were widely used. Rather than digital counters, many people still love the feel of beads, with misbaha made from beautiful stones like agate & coral.
