AI Has a Problem

It’s time to redefine how organizations approach AI design, strategy and implementation. We need to solve for human behavior — not technical feasibility.
Code and Theory brings more than a decade of tangible experience building, tinkering and implementing AI. We partner with organizations to unlock a durable competitive advantage by making AI work for humans (people, customers and teams).
Our planning, design, technical development and implementation accounts for the organizational, cultural and user needs to ensure AI adoption at speed and scale.
What's YOUR next AI initiative?
How we help organizations overcome internal barriers to deliver the most of AI
01
Understand the human element and design for it
Both the users engaging with AI, their needs, their fears and their goals, and the stakeholders responsible for adopting and implementing AI.
02
Establish a shared vision and create alignment
To drive alignment across disparate teams and stakeholders.
03
Identify the right use cases for business impact
Not every problem is right for an AI solution. Deep strategic rigor is needed to focus on the problems if solved will deliver the biggest impact.
04
Creative and iterative design experimentation
There is too much vaporware and theory with AI. We believe in making and testing concepts in the real world.
05
Foster an ethical culture for AI innovation
Change management and consensus building ensure key stakeholders and users within an organization live up to a shared set of values and an ethical culture.

We spearheaded an AI-focused conversation with our client, Qualcomm CMO Don McGuire, and Code and Theory Founder and Executive Chairman Dan Gardner at Web Summit Lisbon. Dan and Don explored why AI works best when it’s personalized, not simply reactive. As Dan says, “Then, we can think about humanization.” Watch the video to listen to the full discussion.
When working with marketing partners like Code and Theory, a unique creative perspective that works with AI is what’s going to set a company apart.
