This episode IA and BR review some news about a firm re-hiring its staff after thinking that they could replace them with AI… This leads to a discussion around the value of the new and shiny and why we shouldn’t also just throw away the good stuff when some new shiny stuff comes along. This also relates for ITSM to some recent industry criticism, but is this actually a category mistake..? As usual we drift from trivia to philosophy with some service management in between…
