AI in Cannabis Commerce Is Here — But Jane’s Doing It Their Way with Socrates Rosenfeld

The Dime

AI is reshaping every corner of commerce — and in cannabis, where the pace is chaotic and change can be difficult, thoughtful integration is even harder.

We’re in the middle of a digital transformation as profound as the rise of the internet. In a space where “speed and size” used to win, the new game is endurance. Because to finish first, you have to finish.

Balancing AI rollouts, sunsetting products with sunk costs, and staying mission-aligned while pushing innovation forward — that’s the razor-thin line companies like Jane walk every day.

This week, we sit down again with Socrates Rosenfeld, CEO of Jane Technologies, to explore:

• The real process behind AI rollouts at Jane
• Why “radical transparency” is Jane’s most important product
• What retailers can expect from Jane Premium’s early launch
