Ai is like a new military technology. You only know how good it is when it is used in a peer to peer engagement. Let the battle begin. For those of you still needing a job, dig a deep fox hole.

The more I read about AI the more it freaks me out.

who programmed Prince's AI tool and who feeds it tue required data across all the different technical boundaries?

Unless, he had a fully integrated system (ERP or similar) beforehand, I cannot imagine AI giving him all the required KPI data points just like that.

Also, KPI are very tricky / misleading if used out of context of the underlying 'story'.

Thanks for this rescue of Drucker, who along with John Kenneth Galbraith, seems to have been flushed from collective memory just when their ideas might help think through the problems of ensuring this new social technology is used to manage organizations rather than control or replace workers.

How strange for Prince to choose Drucker for this exercise! I wonder what prompt led him or his pet writer there.

There is more than a whiff of "liberating" AI from oversight in this chap Prince's view, rather than the apparent premise of "liberating" businesses from "superfluous" middle management in the interest of "productivity".
