Decentralized Intelligence, Data Precision, Cross-Industry Collaboration, and the Evolution of AI

Exploring AI's Impact in The Workplace

This Week on AI and The Future of Work: A Chat with Ray Wang, CEO of Constellation Research

When we take it back to the future of work, the smart organizations are going to realize when and where to insert a human. Aging populations are really going to need some level of augmentation, and AI will need to make up for all the work that cannot be done because the replacement of the population is not going to be there. We're going to go from 8 billion to 7 billion to 6 billion to... wait. How do we actually build a road? Who's going to be there to take care of seniors? How are you going to actually deliver teaching, right? Where do you learn your skills? So all of that is going to change. From a macro perspective, it's a great thing because we're aging out.

The goal here isn't more AI. The goal is actually to make better decisions, faster decisions, and more precise decisions. That decision velocity is where we're headed. So if, for example, a vendor decides this is going to replace two other vendors, that's great. But did you really get to better decisions? And if the answer is yes, then you've succeeded.
