67 Mistakes to Avoid with AI
Based on our experience with 20+ AI projects, here are the 7 most common mistakes and how to avoid them:
❌ 1. AI for AI's Sake (No Clear Use Case)
Problem: Integrate AI without specific objective ("we need AI because everyone does it").
Solution: Start with a clear business problem (reduce support costs, increase conversion, accelerate content) and validate that AI is the best solution (vs simpler alternatives).
❌ 2. Underestimating API Costs
Problem: API costs (OpenAI, Gemini) can explode with scale (thousands of MAD/month).
Solution: Implement usage limits (rate limiting), cache responses (Redis), optimize prompts (reduce tokens), and monitor costs in real-time (dashboards).
❌ 3. Neglecting Data Quality
Problem: AI is only as good as the data. Bad data = bad AI (hallucinations, errors).
Solution: Clean data before (remove duplicates, validate formats), test with real data samples, and continuously monitor quality (human validation).
❌ 4. No UX Validation (Hallucinations)
Problem: AI can generate incorrect content ("hallucinations"). Publishing without validation = reputation risk.
Solution: Always implement human validation (editorial moderation), add source citations (traceability), and use moderation APIs (OpenAI Moderation, Google Perspective).
❌ 5. Ignoring GDPR/CNDP (Personal Data)
Problem: AI APIs (OpenAI, Gemini) process user data. Non-compliance = legal risk.
Solution: Use Enterprise APIs with compliance guarantees (no training on your data), add consent banners (GDPR/CNDP), and anonymize sensitive data before sending to AI.
❌ 6. No Performance Monitoring
Problem: Without monitoring, you can't detect issues (increased costs, degraded quality, performance).
Solution: Implement real-time dashboards (costs, response time, quality), set alerts (budget thresholds, errors), and conduct monthly audits.
❌ 7. Relying 100% on AI (No Human Oversight)
Problem: AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans. Total automation = quality/security risk.
Solution: AI for speed, humans for validation. Implement hybrid workflows (AI generates, humans validate/adjust), keep human escalation (chatbot → agent), and regular audits (sample validation).

8Frequently Asked Questions About AI in Digital Development
❓ What are the main applications of AI in web development?
The 6 main applications are: 1) Intelligent chatbots (24/7 customer support), 2) AI-powered search (semantic search, autocomplete), 3) Dynamic content generation (product descriptions, blog articles), 4) UX personalization (recommendations, adaptive interfaces), 5) Predictive analytics (user behavior, conversions), 6) Automated testing (QA, performance).
❓ How to integrate AI into an existing Drupal site?
There are 3 approaches: 1) Drupal AI Module (OpenAI integration for content generation, chatbots), 2) Custom API (direct integration of OpenAI/Gemini/Claude APIs), 3) Headless with AI front-end (Drupal as back-end + React/Next.js with AI on front-end). The choice depends on needs, budget and technical constraints. We recommend starting with a POC to validate the approach.
❓ What is the cost of integrating AI into a website?
The cost of AI integration varies considerably depending on project complexity and desired features. A basic chatbot will be less expensive than a complete e-commerce platform with advanced personalization and intelligent recommendations.
Factors that influence the budget include: the type of AI solution (chatbot, UX personalization, predictive analytics), integration with existing systems, team training, and continuous maintenance. Recurring AI API costs (OpenAI, Gemini) also vary depending on usage.
We recommend starting with a POC to validate feasibility and ROI before investing in a complete solution.
❓ How long does it take to deploy an AI solution?
Timeline varies by complexity:
- • Basic chatbot: 2-4 weeks
- • Content generation module: 4-6 weeks
- • UX personalization: 6-8 weeks
- • Complete AI platform: 3-6 months
At Void, we recommend a 4-phase agile approach: 1) POC/Prototype (2-4 weeks), 2) MVP (6-8 weeks), 3) Progressive deployment (2-3 months), 4) Continuous optimization.
❓ What are the main risks and mistakes to avoid with AI?
The 7 mistakes to avoid are:
- 1. AI for AI's sake (without clear use case)
- 2. Underestimating API costs (can explode with scale)
- 3. Neglecting data quality (AI is only as good as the data)
- 4. Forgetting UX validation (generated content must be reviewed)
- 5. Ignoring GDPR/CNDP (personal data, consent)
- 6. No monitoring (performance, quality, costs)
- 7. Relying 100% on AI (always keep human oversight)
