My Suggestions on Using AI

You most likely are inundated with stories about AI. Most of them are the same and most say absolutely nothing interesting or real. I have decided to enter more of my thoughts into this pantheon of non-thought. Lucky you!

For the record, here is my stance on AI in the workplace. 

  • From a technology standpoint, it has a ton of potential, but very few real use cases right now.

  • From a business standpoint, it concerns the heck out of me because there is no viable business model right now (just people who are lying about the business potential – think WeWork on steroids, and that didn’t end well). 

  • As it grows and if it improves, it will radically change the way we work and businesses won’t adjust to it. Meaning the workplace will become worse.

Side note: If you want to read some great thoughts on the vapidity of the AI discussion, read Ed Zitron. Amazing stuff.
