RESULT AND DISCUSSION
AI Implementation Background
The interview questions discussed the most crucial industry issues that underlie Bithouse's
development of AI-based software projects. In the research, it was found that Bithouse's interest
in developing AI-based projects is due to the increasingly massive phenomenon of digitalization
in various business sectors.
The massive digitization and growth of internet users during the 2010s provide evidence
that the slow process of traditional and manual administration will gradually be replaced digitally
(Tampubolon, 2020). This is also based on the theory proposed by Marco Iansiti and Karim R.
Lakhani (2020) (Iansiti & Lakhani, 2020, p. 13) which states "Digital Collision with Traditional,"
which states that when digital-based operational management collides with traditional
photography, it not only replaces it with something cheaper, different, or of higher quality but
also creates a new value proposition to serve customers in that industry.
