27 | Beyond the Hype: Generative AI's True Potential vs. Bubble Talk for Business Leaders, with Jeffrey Funk, PHD and Globally Renowned Tech Consultant
Is Generative AI Really a Game-Changer or Just Hype? Get the Inside Scoop from 40-Year Tech Industry Veteran Jeffrey Funk
On this episode, Jeffrey Funk has seen it all when it comes to tech trends and hype cycles. Jeffrey Funk, a 40-year technology consultant to governments and companies, provides an insider's skeptical take on whether generative AI will truly transform businesses and the economy.
Jeffrey argues that while generative AI like ChatGPT has mind-blowing potential, we need to look beyond the hype and ask hard questions. Is it really improving processes, productivity and the bottom line for companies? Or mainly benefiting individual users?
Topics we discussed:
🔥 The constant rise and fall of hyped technologies - from VR to blockchain to AI. Why healthy skepticism is key.
🔥 Real-life business uses vs. individual play: where generative AI is actually boosting productivity now.
🔥 Criteria for spotting technologies with staying power and economic impact.
🔥 Why proprietary organizational data is the secret weapon for AI competitive advantage.
🔥 Mapping your core processes first before implanting AI. Understanding how roles intersect.
🔥 The industries already feeling major impacts from AI - both good and bad.
Jeffrey Funk shares his unique framework for how businesses should evaluate and selectively implement generative AI, including focusing on proprietary data and core processes. He reveals the industries already feeling major impacts from AI. And he discusses which jobs and roles may be most at risk in the near future as individuals harness exponential productivity gains.
If you want the sobering truth about real-world AI adoption from someone who's seen countless tech bubbles burst, don't miss this pragmatic conversation. Jeffrey may shatter some of your AI euphoria, but he'll also show you how to tap its power prudently.
