The Humachine: Humankind, Machines, and the Future of Enterprise with John Wood


Listen Later

There is a lot of hype, hand waving and ink being spilled about artificial intelligence (AI) in business. The amount of coverage of this topic in the trade press and on shareholder calls is evidence of a large change currently underway. It is both awesome and terrifying.

What started as an inquiry into how executives can adopt AI to harness the best of human and machine capabilities turned into a much more profound rumination on the future of humanity and enterprise. It is a wake-up call for business leaders across all sectors of the economy. Not only should you implement AI regardless of your industry, but once you do, you should fight to stay true to your purpose, your ethical convictions, indeed your humanity, even as our organisations continue to evolve. While not holding any punches about the dangers posed by AI, today's guest uniquely surveys where technology is limited, and where the true opportunities lie amidst all the disruptive change that is currently underway.

Weak Human + Machine + Better Process > Strong Human + Machine + Inferior Process
