Is the fox out of place? Am I invading their space? Or is it just plain loss?
Welcome the current events featuring Artificial Intelligence!
Artificial Intelligence(AI) continues to flirt with the invisible line between being a “disruptive” or a “destructive” technology. While the EU has taken some bold severe steps around the “governance and regulation of AI,” the United States continues to struggle to spell AI correctly.
The race to the top of the AI will not create a winner. Google Cloud will not defeat Amazon Web Services. IBM and Oracle will fight for beachfront property at their client’s annual sales meeting. Microsoft will continue to increase its licensing fees because it can.
If you understand social media power words, here is another perspective.
Productive Gains — AI will make our organization more productive by removing redundant tasks and leveraging automation to reduce human error.
*Translation- AI requires people and data to make this emerging technology. By making your company “productive,” you are trying to do more with fewer people.
AI will reduce costs while streamlining operations and improving our processes for better delivery.
* Translation — We plan to do more with fewer people to achieve our digital transformation strategy, which currently is way over budget and only 50% completed.
AI will make our organization nimble and agile, so our strategy is to stay ahead of our competition.

*Transition- Robotics will do what we ask them without taking a day off.
While I am taking a few liberties with my opinion of AI, I don’t believe productive gains, lower cost, and streamlining translate into a better, more flexible organization.
People make these things happen; we always have and will.
Case in point — Circa 2004 — “PEOPLE are moving to the cloud to save money and resources! We will be more flexible to meet our customers’ requirements quickly, faster, and cheaper.”
Outside of the organization that got the whole “FINOps, ALOps, and CloudOps,” what organization has saved money by moving to the cloud?
The ROI in AI is not about saving money; it is about stepping over everyone to be first; why does that matter? Only time will tell.
All the best,
John
