AI can boost your business. But can you trust it?

In this episode of The Due Diligence Show, Adam and Luke dive into the messy middle of AI adoption: the promise of productivity versus the pitfalls of trust. From hallucinated news links to offshoring 2.0, we explore where automation works, where it breaks, and why “just use AI” isn’t a strategy.

You’ll hear:

– Real-world use cases in customer support, marketing, and engineering

– Where LLMs are delivering value — and where they’re faking it

– The shift from outsourcing to AI-sourcing

– What deepfakes, bias, and black box decisions mean for your brand

– Who owns the output — and who gets blamed when it fails

Whether you’re automating workflows, coaching sales teams, or just trying to debug an AI assistant that’s too confident, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating AI in the enterprise.
