Has anyone hired an AI consultant for their firm, and was it worth it?

One member did hire an AI consultant and said it was worthwhile overall, though pricey ("charged an arm and a leg"). Key lesson: make sure training is pitched at the right level, since staff have different skill sets — it may help to structure training into lower, medium, and expert levels rather than one-size-fits-all. The consultant also helped write the firm's AI policy and navigate security features/settings. The member offered to share the consultant's contact info with the group, e.g. via the shared website's resources section.
