Yes, this makes sense. I'd suggest retitling the article to be something along the lines of "ML Expert Roadmap", and then continue to flesh out all avenues. As it stands, the roadmap has really nothing to do with AI at all, but your point about not just jumping to the shiny hammer certainly rings true and makes sense. I certainly think that's the right approach algorithmically, especially if you're looking to be a more generalist data shop. In a world of senseless marketing hype, I think it's a good idea to take the high road on this one. Reputation alone, even if less-buzzy words like ML are used in favor of AI, really carries a long ways. Plus, we're nearing the disenfranchisement hump, and AI's going to start taking a negative connotation with many businesses, I believe. Just shoot straight and I firmly believe it'll carry you for a long ways, there.
