Supporting context
The article presents L'Oréal as a case study in enterprise AI transformation, emphasizing that success came from building foundational infrastructure—dedicated teams, data platforms, and clear governance—before pursuing AI applications. Practitioners can apply this sequencing by investing in data architecture and cross-functional talent before deploying customer-facing AI tools. The company's ethical guardrail against AI-generated realistic imagery demonstrates how responsible AI policies can be embedded into strategy rather than treated as afterthoughts.
