Helping to define the future of work.

This could be the most pivotal step to mainstream AI into our daily lives and perhaps that is what's needed. AI (in its broadest terms) seems to be licking the shore at the bottom of the hype cycle at the moment, work wise, that is. First, we had the fanfare, everyone’s going to be replaced by a robot, no job for you, you can get on with trying to successfully grow a cucumber, no longer a need for people to be vehicles of labour, off you trot. To……well, to what, what’s changed and I still hear and see lots of gazing, AI is so broad, where to start? But start. Organisations are built on the fallacy that someone is in charge, that they are in control, that the future is theres to harness and if we just get this boat into the water then the wind will take us forwards to our destination. But the wind changes, the market changes. Complex solutions, like a company, or an industry, can become so dedicated to the problem they are the solution to, that often they inadvertently perpetuate the problem, because they won’t change. They hold to past successes, to a set way of thinking and the same team, let’s stay here, close those curtains, it will be fine. Think of Blockbusters turning down the opportunity to buy Netflix. To Kodak who could see that the physical printing of photographs was declining but couldn’t change, not because of a lack of investment or vision but because of culture - people set in a certain way. Let’s stay here, in this lane, it will be fine. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t, but standing still seldom helps. To be the disruptor, not the disrupted that’s the goal. It’s best to look up, every once in a while. So, yes, Apple, shift us forwards. https://lnkd.in/egr8kzVr
