When Algorithms Go Wrong- A Nike Story


Listen Later

Alright, let's talk about when data goes bad. We've all seen the hype around AI and algorithms, right? But what happens when we get too wrapped up in the numbers? Turns out, not so great. Take Nike, they got all excited about data-driven decisions, and it kinda backfired. This episode digs into how a blind faith in data can lead to some seriously bad calls and some serious financial pain. We'll be looking at how companies can find that sweet spot between the power of AI and human smarts. How can we keep the robots from taking over and still make some good business moves? It's all about finding a balance, folks. We are going to talk strategies for staying efficient and human, at the same time. Because let's face it, technocracy at the cost of human values? Not a good look.
