AI Adoption & Organizational Readiness — Google Gen AI Leader Practice Question
A representative Google Cloud Generative AI Leader (Google Gen AI Leader) exam question on AI Adoption & Organizational Readiness. Work through it below, then read why each option is right or wrong.
Short answer
The correct answer is C. Conduct an organizational readiness assessment covering data maturity, talent gaps, governance structures, and risk tolerance.
Before launching any AI initiative, an organization without prior AI experience must assess its readiness across multiple dimensions including data infrastructure, skills, governance, and risk appetite. This foundational step ensures the organization can identify gaps and plan appropriately. Option A skips critical readiness steps and jumps straight to deployment, while options C and D commit significant resources before understanding whether the organization is prepared to support and govern AI systems.
The Question
A mid-size financial services firm wants to adopt generative AI but has no prior AI experience. The CTO has proposed starting with a customer-facing chatbot for loan inquiries. The Chief Risk Officer has raised concerns about regulatory exposure. What should the organization do first before launching any generative AI initiative?
Why C is correct

This foundational step ensures the organization can identify gaps and plan appropriately. Option A skips critical readiness steps and jumps straight to deployment, while options C and D commit significant resources before understanding whether the organization is prepared to support and govern AI systems.
