Thank you Richard. It’s easy to get lost in AI and lose all sense of direction and judgement. To extend your metaphor, when overusing AI in the past, it has felt like being in a maze, with all the walls changing. Extracting yourself from the maze and asking why you are in it in the first place is helpful, although planning when to enter and knowing what signals require you to break out is more useful.
I’ve long thought that leadership, project management and audit skills are what’s required for successful use of AIs and teams of AIs. Question is, how do we gain those skills prior to using AI and sustain them?
I don’t know the answer to that (yet). Maybe by spending time with different people, doing the work/crafting that cannot be done by an LLM. Something that those of us who are a bit older have been able to do in the times before AI (or indeed personal computing). How do we encourage that?
I don’t know either but I suspect we need to look at fundamentals, that responsibilities precede rights. That each of us is responsible for the choices that we make including who we work for and what that organisation does.
