Turn hype into outcome — AI literacy from top to bottom

AI is becoming more accessible and more pervasive. But there’s a gap!

The conversation around AI is still mainly a technical one - between technical experts and enthusiasts. And even after 6, 7 years of AI becoming more mature, we’re still seeing a gap in connecting this technology with business objectives. This gap largely exists because technologists tend to focus so much on technology rather than where and how it can be applied to deliver business value. The business community, however, experiences AI through Hollywood with either its futuristic or dystopian stories. Or they perceive it as the hype that they read about in the press or that they hear about from their peers. However, successful innovation and transformation go beyond pure technology aspects. And technology leaders and their teams ed to enable their business peers to understand the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in order to successfully harness the technology's benefits.

Make AI your business' superpower — No cape required

Artificial Intelligence is the revolutionary technology of our time. But, there’s more to it than just technology itself. Understanding where and how to use it is just as important. Unless you’re close to the topic of AI already, perception is heavily influenced by AI’s portrayal in pop culture and movies, and by the latest headlines. Neither one is particularly accurate or helpful in business.

While business leaders don’t have to be deep technical experts to apply AI, they need a foundational understanding of the potential that this technology holds for their team, department, division, and company. A strong focus on domain skills + AI prepares them to become the superhero of their AI story.

To trust or not to trust AI — Strategies for user adoption and change management

As organizations are automating more and more decision making in their business, leaders are faced with a key question: How can we ensure end-users accept AI-supported decision making and automation ? The answer to it is not trivial by any means. But research on trust in automation over the last 25+ years provides insights that can be turned into the guardrails of a successful AI program in business.

It all starts with understanding the levels of automation and extends to trust, adequate use of automation, and reliance on AI. In front of this backdrop of key findings, the pillars of successful AI projects and programs provide an actionable framework for increasing end-users‘ in AI and automation.

To share a few concrete examples, let’s look at autonomous sourcing in procurement, where agentic AI fits now, how to run it safely, and how to move from pilots to scaled impact without spooking your teams or regulators.

The MIT study also found that highly skilled workers enjoyed their jobs less because AI was involved. They shared that AI takes away some of the creativity humans usually bring to the process.

In October, Gartner reported that 74% of CEOs believe AI will transform their industry in 2024. Yet, 70-80% of AI projects still fail. But that’s hardly because of technology. Slack’s recent Fall 2024 Workforce Index sheds more light on a growing disconnect between executives and employees. It’s especially one data point that I can’t stop thinking about.

The Impact of CV Recommender Systems on Procedural Justice in Recruiting: An Experiment in Candidate Selection
European Conference on Information Systems
May 01, 2021
Due to the increasing amount of digitally available applicant information recruiters have difficulties to manage applications through manual recruiting practices. Using CV recommender systems in the selection phase supports recruiters in identifying the most suitable candidates by computing the similarity between a candidate’s profile and job requirements. While recent research has mainly focused on technical improvements, we seek to gain more insights about human-algorithm interactions in recruiting. Our study aims to examine what impact the use of a CV recommender system has on procedural justice in the selection process. Through an experimental set-up with 74 recruiters from 22 multinational companies, our study shows that the incorporation of a CV recommender system helps recruiters to ensure the rule of consistency and bias suppression in the selection phase. Thus, our quantitative results indicate that CV recommender systems can have an impact on procedural justice in candidate selection.

Top AI Influencer of 2023
The Futurum Group
December 18, 2023
One of the best ways to stay informed about the “ground truth” of AI evolution is to listen to and read what the experts are saying and thinking. In my view, that means seeking out a collection of individuals that think about AI from different perspectives:

Technical: Thinkers who focus on AI technology itself; what it can do
Business: Thinkers who focus on how AI technology is best used in businesses
Responsible: Thinkers who focus on how AI technology should be used; guardrails for safe use

You are interested in understanding best practices of an enterprise that has successfully operationalized AI. Welsch has been a pioneer of AI influencers, writing and podcasting with AI guidance for a few years. Leaning both on SAP’s successful journey in operationalizing AI and a wide range of experts, Andreas delivers very practical AI advice and education.

- Emerging tools like ChatGPT can help increase productivity (such as drafting or summarizing content), but BEWARE of hallucinations. (Wait, you didn't testify before Congress?!?)
- You still need a "human in the loop" and will want to prepare your organizations with data and AI literacy programs. 
- AI needs good data but we still have barriers (such as siloed data).
- Biased inputs can lead to biased outputs.
- Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

2025 Predictions for Generative AI

Date : November 06, 2024

We will see the rise of AI agents in businesses to take over more complex tasks within and across departments. Leaders need to manage this shift as humans increasingly rely on AI.

See Radar

Generative AI in 2024

Date : October 16, 2023

We will see the first commercially available generative AI-based agents that can accomplish goals based on a user-defined goal. These agents will be able to determine the steps needed to accomplish their goal, write and execute code, and connect to available APIs. They will go further where experimental frameworks and research papers stop, and provide a first glimpse at the true potential of generative AI that understands a user's intent and is able to translate that into actionable steps.

AI is becoming more accessible and more pervasive. But there’s a gap!

The conversation around AI is still mainly a technical one - between technical experts and enthusiasts. And even after 6, 7 years of AI becoming more mature, we’re still seeing a gap in connecting this technology with business objectives. This gap largely exists because technologists tend to focus so much on technology rather than where and how it can be applied to deliver business value. The business community, however, experiences AI through Hollywood with either its futuristic or dystopian stories. Or they perceive it as the hype that they read about in the press or that they hear about from their peers. However, successful innovation and transformation go beyond pure technology aspects. And technology leaders and their teams ed to enable their business peers to understand the potential of artificial intelligence and automation in order to successfully harness the technology's benefits.
