AI’s Coming Impact on the Economy
Growing reliance on AI will not likely result in any of the three most common views of how AI will affect our future. Each view is founded on assumptions that fail to consider all the realities of AI. That leaves us, however, with an important question as we plan our company’s – and our own – future in an increasingly AI-enabled world: “What will that…

AI and The Great Workforce Skill Set Shift
Whether AI and the technologies it enables will reach their full potential depends on the workforce that will work alongside them. Yet the skills that that workforce needs to do this are in short supply. Rather than debating what to do about massive job losses from AI, discussion should focus on how best to prepare workers’ skills for the types of jobs that they will…

Three Views of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Future
If you’ve read the many predictions about the future of AI, you’ve likely found them to be wildly different. They range from AI spelling doom for humanity, to AI ushering in Golden Age of peace, harmony and culture, to AI producing barely a blip on society’s path toward ever-greater technological achievement.

AI Uses Today – Far More Than You Might Think
Ask people on the street how much AI uses today affect their lives, and most would probably answer that it doesn’t affect them right now. Some might say that it’s pure science fiction.

Leadership in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI’s effect on the workplace will not be limited merely to repetitive, production line-type jobs. Increasingly, it also enters the realm of highly trained knowledge workers. It will also affect those who manage workers currently employed in such jobs. AI likely will reshape jobs all the way up to the C-level offices. That doesn’t mean, though, that managers and executives will no longer be needed.…

The 1956 Dartmouth Workshop: The Birthplace of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In the summer of 1956, a small gathering of researchers and scientists at Dartmouth College, a small yet prestigious Ivy League school in Hanover, New Hampshire, ignited a spark that would forever change the course of human history. This historic event, known as the Dartmouth Workshop, is widely regarded as the birthplace of artificial intelligence (AI) and marked the inception of a new field of…

Reflections on AI Progress
Looking back over the years, I’m struck by how far AI has come and yet how far it still has to go. In late 2005, AI is best described as a powerful set of tools - pattern recognition, optimization, inference engines - that can outperform humans in specific tasks and scale to volumes no human could handle (like sifting millions of emails for spam or…
