Strategic Insight
Addressing Your AI Questions
Everyone is talking about Chat-GPT, Stable Diffusion, and other fast-moving AI technologies. AI is moving faster than fast! There’s a lot going on, but what you really need to be thinking about is:
how will AI affect my industry?
what impact will these new AI technologies have on my company or association?
what new strategic opportunities might exist?
what complex new challenges might it present me with?
what skills issues are emerging that I need to start thinking about now?
what disruptive transformation might occur?
what is the possibility for the emergence of new competitors that are building on that disruption?
what barriers do I have in the way that might hold me back from investigating it?
what experience and skill set should I be building?
In other words – it’s not AI that matters, it’s your strategic thinking around its emergence. It’s always been bubbling around us, and yet now, is suddenly real.
Industry Implications
In many industries, AI technologies have long had a profound impact, and are already showing a lot of strategic potential.You need to dig beneath the surface in order to get concise insight into what is happening, both with the promise and the peril, the opportunities and the challenges within YOUR industry. That can be very difficult to do in such a fast-moving world - but entirely necessary.Here are just a few examples.
an acceleration of precision-targeted medicine, advanced healthcare imaging and diagnoses methodologies and robotic-assisted virtualized medical procedures
agriculture is moving from a world in which we farm when the sun is up, to one that involves a world of 24-hour farming based on autonomous and virtual technologies
local energy microgrids based on renewable technologies, carefully balanced and managed through advanced AI technologies
greater speed in shifting the insurance world to real-time actuarial and risk analysis
an accelerated shift in the world of education from foundation knowledge to 'just-in-time' knowledge and the fast emergence of new micro-careers
the further automation of the construction industry through faster deployment of automated, AI-driven robotic technology
That's what strategic insight and analysis are all about - how are these trends now changing and evolving as a result of the sudden new acceleration of the fundamentals of AI?
On Jim's Mind
Most organizations are going to need a Senior Vice-President of Artificial Intelligence Risk Management within a year.
The position, reporting to the Board of Directors, will be responsible for:
monitoring, assessing, and interpreting an ever-increasing flood of new AI-based risks and preparing scenarios for management to counter them
quarterbacking the deep ethical and moral issues that come with the increasing use of AI within the organization
working with HR to monitor a company-wide “AI Code of Conduct,” applicable to all staff
working with the Chief Legal Officer on the never-ending number of new AI-related copyright, trademark, and intellectual property issues hitting the organization
spending time with the corporate IT department to come up with policies, strategies, and structures to firewall corporate information sources so that they don’t become fodder for content within large-language models (and hence, become a part of the answer that AI chatbot offers up)
ensuring that any new products or services developed utilizing AI are based on appropriate quality, reliability, and ethical framework
working with HR to ensure that workforce skills and capabilities are enhanced and developed so that the organization has a proper skills base for the AI era
continually modifying and adjusting these responsibilities in the face of new AI risks not yet identified and yet to come
the individual will be required to report on this initiative, their responsibilities, and their findings, to the Board on a quarterly basis, to the public annually or semi-annually, and to the CEO weekly – if not daily
they must have effective media and PR skills, as they will be involved in formulating any response to new corporate PR challenges as a result of AI
All of this is going to be necessary sooner than you think.
ai keynote and leadership meeting topic considerations
How AI Will Redefine Your Industry, Profession, Company, and Career – And What You Need To Do About It!
There are several ways to understand the impact of AI on your company, industry, association, or profession. As the saying goes – it’s pretty certain you won’t find your job being replaced by AI, but it might be replaced by someone using AI!That's why strategic clarity on the impact of AI is necessary, and Jim Carroll can provide you with a highly customized keynote presentation that will examine several issues.Top of mind is the impact of 'Generative AI technologies' - the fast-moving trends involving ChatGPT and other generative technologies involving voice, video, and more; the impact of productivity, workflow, and other software-based opportunities built on top of these trends; and other new tools, products and search engine technologies. All of these trends will come to change the nature of the way we search, learn, interact, and think. It’s a new era of human-knowledge augmentation that is coming about through the emergence of personalized knowledge butlers; an acceleration in just-in-time knowledge through on-demand knowledge robots; the arrival of the always-available knowledge servant.Another way to achieve strategic clarity is to go further and consider the "AI Megatrends" - the far-reaching, transformative, and disruptive AI concepts involving such things as predictive diagnostics, autonomous technologies, and machine vision, the hyper-connectivity of intelligent devices, the integration of AI into robotics and virtualized digital twin technologies, workforce, and process augmentation technologies, real-time risk monitoring, product reinvention, and transformation through embedded AI, and so much more!The end result of both these major developments is sweeping change in every industry such as: changing the way we diagnose and treat medical conditions; how we assess and underwrite insurance risk using sophisticated AI risk management tools; how we manage our march to precision-farming using AI-driven autonomous technologies; how we are using AI throughout retail and manufacturing for deep supply chain analysis and inventory management.
