Two Key Generalities To Remember About AI

In a product development meeting today I was reminded of two things:1. CONTEXT - AI does not do CONTEXT, humans do. So AI CANNOT do everything. In the RESILIENCE context this is CRITICAL, and resilience is the governance umbrella of the AI world. In October 2008 James Royds and I gave a keynote to the Business Continuity Institute Conference where we pointed out the lack of context in Business Continuity Planning and presented the GODFEAR model as a means of assessing context. Many current mistakes in the use of AI result from this misunderstanding. LLMs cannot learn context.2. SPEED of REACTION; AI is very good at reacting in seconds/milliseconds etc. ...but less good over the longer term. So this is important in designing systems where time is important. Humans are much better judges over hours, days, etc, but poor on reacting in seconds or less.Both of these issues are important in self - driving cars for example.They are also a reason, for example, why the Big 4 and Lawyers get into trouble for using, or overusing, AI. So they will have to re-employ some budding managers to help them understand context.Thinking it through it is therefore unlikely that AI will take over as much of human thought and action as predicted. In fact, employment profiles will change rather than disappear. Universities will be needed for Critical Thinking (Prompts) and Context (Geography and History Lessons, for example!)
