To avoid a ‘graveyard of pilots’, Seatrium gives AI projects 3 months to deliver

Seatrium, a Singapore-based offshore and marine engineering group, requires artificial intelligence proof-of-concepts to show measurable business value within three months or be discontinued, a policy aimed at avoiding a 'graveyard of pilots', according to Lee Wey Lii, senior vice-president of digital at Seatrium. After the three-month period, pilots must be stopped or moved into a collaboration stage with safeguards and risk controls before deployment.

To avoid a ‘graveyard of pilots’, Seatrium gives AI projects 3 months to deliver Short timeline prevents projects from remaining in experimental stage indefinitely SINGAPORE Seatrium gives selected artificial intelligence proof-of-concepts just three months to demonstrate measurable business value before they are either advanced towards deployment or discontinued. At the end of that period, pilots must be stopped or moved into a collaboration stage, where they are refined with safeguards and risk controls before being rolled out. This approach is designed to prevent the company from becoming a “graveyard of pilots”, said Lee Wey Lii, senior vice-president of digital at Seatrium.
