The Rocky Road of AI

The Rocky Road of AI
Meet Your Host, Alan Weiss
Alan Weiss is one of those rare people who can say he is a consultant, speaker, and author and mean it.
His consulting firm, Summit Consulting Group, Inc., has attracted clients such as Merck, Hewlett-Packard, GE, Mercedes-Benz, State Street Corporation, Times Mirror Group, The Federal Reserve, The New York Times Corporation, Toyota, and over 500 other leading organizations. He has served on several boards of directors in various capacities.
His prolific publishing includes over 500 articles and 60 books, including his best-seller, Million Dollar Consulting (from McGraw-Hill) now in its 30th year and sixth edition. His newest is Your Legacy is Now: Life is not about a search for meaning but the creation of meaning (Routledge, 2021). His books have been on the curricula at Villanova, Temple University, and the Wharton School of Business, and have been translated into 15 languages.
Get to know AlanShow Notes
AI isn't perfect or infallible. It is subject to construction by human and human user error.
It's ideal to help you consolidate and remind you of your own IP.
It can easily lead you into unintended plagiarism by answering inquiries and not providing attribution for its answers.
It will eliminate jobs, but also create jobs.
Look around you for social proof, don't just listen to unsupported claims.
Never use it when you need high touch.
Use it for high tech, but validate.
It is not a terribly personally creative tool, and it's substitution for what is supposed to be original work will soon be easily exposed…by AI.
Use AI in your work, but don't organize your work to support AI.
Alan Weiss's The Uncomfortable Truth® is a weekly broadcast from “The Rock Star of Consulting,” Alan Weiss, who holds forth with his best (and often most contrarian) ideas about society, culture, business, and personal growth. His 60+ books in 12 languages, and his travels to, and work in, 50 countries contribute to a fascinating and often belief-challenging 20 minutes that might just change your next 20 years.
