Many of us love sharing amusing AI-generated images with our friends. But are you willing to trust AI with your core business? More people, I’ve observed, are waking up to the costs and risks.
Whoops And Shares
Imagine coming across a big crowd in the street. At the center, there’s a magician mesmerizing everyone with a parlor trick. The crowd whoops, and people are sharing video clips of the trick with their friends.
At the end of the magician’s performance, a smartly-dressed business executive steps forward—and asks the street performer to join his company, with the idea that she’ll soon replace several departments.
This seems bizarre, right? But in my view, similar thinking is seeping into the corporate world with AI.
Although AI isn’t controlling companies, it’s dominating conversations. Across business networks and the IT marketplace, you’ll encounter futuristic visions, hear sweeping claims and sense that everyone’s on board, leaving you behind.
No wonder many in the C-suite, as well as tech providers, feel under pressure to talk up their strategies and capabilities.
