8th Light

Feeling AI fatigue? In this episode of The Fuse and the Flint, Doug Gapinski and Steve Hennegan discuss strategies for navigating AI adoption and overcoming common pitfalls through clarity of purpose, practical implementation, and establishing trust. https://hubs.la/Q03chjWS0

Exploring AI Decision-Making: Insights from a Fascinating Study I recently came across a thought-provoking article by Travis Frisinger, where he analyzes over 2,500 interactions with ChatGPT to uncover patterns in how AI is used in decision-making. What stood out to me was the concept of the AI Decision Loop, which presents a 5-step framework to help us collaborate more effectively with AI and avoid automation bias. Some key takeaways: - AI as a thought partner: Engaging with AI as a collaborator, not just an answer generator, leads to more refined outcomes. - Human judgment is key: Don’t just accept AI's responses — challenge them, verify, and iterate. - Iterative process: The AI Decision Loop isn’t a one-time task; it’s an ongoing process of improvement. It’s a fascinating read on how we can maximize the potential of AI without losing our critical thinking skills. If you're interested in improving your approach to AI collaboration, I highly recommend checking it out! Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dVhrv4uK #AI #MachineLearning #DecisionMaking

With HumanX wrapped up, two key themes stood out to me as shaping the next wave of AI: 1️⃣ Augmentation, Not Replacement – The best AI systems don’t replace humans; they elevate them. The real value of AI is in augmentation—enhancing our ability to think, create, and solve problems. The most impactful AI will empower humans, not sideline them. This is my personal mantra, and I was glad to see it resonate throughout parts of the conference. 2️⃣ Fast Inference, Faster Thinking – AI is only as good as the speed at which it delivers insights. Companies like Cerebras Systems are pushing the boundaries of ultra-fast inference, making real-time AI processing a reality. With their Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE-3) and partnerships like Mistral AI, they’re showing what’s possible when AI can think at the speed of thought. HumanX reinforced one truth: AI is most valuable when it accelerates human potential. #AI #Augmentation #FastInference #8thLight

8th Light Live from HumanX in Vegas! 🎲🏥 One big takeaway from HLTH 2024 (and echoed here at HumanX): AI isn’t the magic fix for healthcare—giving doctors more time for patient care is. The energy at HumanX is electric, and the conversations around human-centered AI are inspiring. Let’s build tech that doctors love and patients trust! PS: Jon Wettersten’s article nailed it—while AI’s potential is exciting, what really matters is designing tech that helps, not hinders. #HumanX #HLTH2024 #AIinHealthcare #HealthTech #FutureOfMedicine

Vineet Kumar from Fanatics talks about the importance of personalization beyond the sale to really connect with users and build loyalty. Being there when a team loses is as important as being there in the moment of celebration and likely buy. ROI on that requires long game metrics instead of just in the moment. Short sited execs will lose this game.

Just listened to a great topic at the HumanX conference! Ai Adoption: Overcoming Cost & ROI Concerns One of the biggest barriers to AI adoption? Cost concerns and a lack of visible ROI. But ROI comes in two forms: 1️⃣ Employee Productivity – AI boosts efficiency without necessarily reducing internal costs. 2️⃣ Business Productivity – AI must drive measurable business outcomes beyond IT. Many companies already have AI tools in place, but they’re underutilized—think of the “graveyard of AI chatbots.” An AI Health Check can help uncover hidden value and align AI initiatives with broader business goals. When adopting GenAI, businesses must address obsolescence concerns and focus on compartmentalization to future-proof investments. At the enterprise level, multi-agent AI systems are the way forward—helping to break down silos and deliver better results.

Human[X] is turning out to be a great event. Really interesting content and inspiring conversations! Amazing first day and today looks just as promising. Even though I'm loving every second of this, the posts from London's CTO Craft Con are causing major FOMO! So glad that's happening in Toronto as well.

Day 2 at #HumanX! Drake Fish meets a robot, and a front row seat at Emil Eifrem's session. 🤖

How do you get better decisions with AI without losing your critical thinking edge? The key: structured collaboration. Introducing the AI Decision Loop—a 5-step approach to smarter AI interactions: - Frame the context - Collaborate & generate outputs - Challenge with human judgment - Verify & validate - Refine & iterate Learn more about the AI Decision Loop from principal crafter Travis Frisinger 👇. https://hubs.la/Q03bd0mh0

We're having a great time at #HumanX! If you're there, you might bump into one of these 8th Lighters!
