How does disruptive innovation apply to today's AI?

Early AI applications might appear rudimentary or niche, serving specific, low-end, or entirely new markets that incumbents overlook.

Companies must be vigilant, recognizing that an innovation dismissed today could be the disruptive force of tomorrow, especially if it leverages new business models and democratizes access.
