Yes, but that doesn't mean it's enough. Not every random guy who wasn't the CEO of OpenAI is about to start an AI company (though some probably are).

It's quite possible an AI company does need a better vision than "hire some engineers and have them make AI".

Seems like all these "business guys" think that's all it takes.

They often do. That doesn't make them right. There's probably going to be a massive AI bubble similar to what we've seen with cryptocurrencies and NFTs, and after that bubble pops, AI will probably end up discredited for a decade before it picks up again. It's happened before.
