Musings about AI

Back from a VERY long bike ride..

So, 2,200 km later I'm back and pondering AI - after a month away, things are… about the same. New versions of course, lots of hype of course and many business articles about the gazillions being spent. So, as I said, about the same. But things are progressing underneath the popular stories. Structure is being developed, for example, in academia. Schools are releasing guidelines about AI use, lots of chat about assessments and how to adjust to this new world and an overall acknowledgment that AI must be dealt with now… or at least now'ish. And perhaps this is more important than whether or not release X.2 is dramatically different than X.1. In the PM world there's increasingly an acceptance that AI is a tool unlike any other and to not use it is to court sub par performance. It appears that amongst users AI use is becoming the norm and not the exception.
