If we previously rejected an AI approach and now want to reconsider it, won't that look inconsistent?

There's no need to view reassessment as inconsistency simply because you once rejected it. Drawing from export experience, the article reminds us that whether an approach is suitable depends on timing, market conditions, and current circumstances—past judgments cannot always be directly applied today. When reconsidering an AI approach, you can clarify the original reasons for not adopting it and explain what conditions or understandings have changed, then adjust direction accordingly. What should be avoided is maintaining the appearance of personal consistency by continuing to require the team to follow the old implementation despite knowing the original judgment is now problematic.
