Q: I hear every day, “AI will revolutionize and disrupt our industry”. What do they mean by that?
AI will amplify both positive and negative aspects of an organization's current state.
If you have an excellent product or service providing exceptional value to your customers, and you use AI to increase the scale and speed by which you can provide this product, AI can provide strong value here. If you have existing high performing team and can further accelerate that team if done right. If you have strong trust with your customers and stakeholders and can further accelerate trust done right.
If you have existing product values issues, team trust issues, and customer trust issues, AI will magnify this, make it much more painful and make it very public. It will expose your weaknesses, your misaligned practices around people, process, technology, governance, and data. It will expose the value propositions, beliefs, and practices that are already eating away at your vision.
Q: How do we ensure all the resources & energy going into our AI adoption amplifies the good, not the bad?
Proper AI implementation requires addressing existing problems, such as data, process, and culture.
Your greatest opportunity in the age of AI, is to build the right foundation for your organization, because of the exponential power of AI to accelerate the good or bad. AI won’t fix the root your underlying problems. Neither does adopting AI automatically differentiate you. AI is an amplifier. It will multiply the good or bad that already exists, say, 1000 times. If you implement AI on already broken areas, your financial, technology, org culture, and customer trust “bank account” will pay for it. But if you implement AI right, the acceleration of accomplishing your organizations PURPOSE better, faster, and cheaper, while allowing people to focus on things that only humans can do.
The organizations that build the right foundation, then accelerate with AI, are likely to be the leaders in their industry in the next 2-4 years, because of AI’s exponential ability. Keep in mind that: “AI won’t replace humans. But humans with AI will replace humans without AI.” Organizations that proactively address these elements, will lead to FAR higher success in gaining the ROI of their AI journey.
