    Before embarking on the development of artificial intelligence or AI, it is important to ensure that everyone has the right expectations towards the development to support it and make sure that such a project will be successful. This includes consulting stakeholders ahead of time and getting into their line of thinking to achieve congruence with the functionality of projects. Due to the importance of stakeholders, revealing information about both the company and organizational affairs, updating the stakeholders can go a long way in maintaining trust with the established milestones. Also, understanding what can be done and what cannot is the rationale as to why stakeholders should be informed about the prospects and pitfalls of using AI.
