I’m in IT at an upper level and know painfully well what “AI” really is and that it’s not the disruptor people think it will be. However I feel like I can’t post it anywhere without being judged about it as almost every exec I know has bought into it hook, line and sinker. Even other people I talk to about the issues and limitations look at me like I’m completely weird “you’re in IT and you don’t embrace AI? wtf is wrong with you?”
So what do you all do? I don’t want to make things career limiting but I feel like I’m screaming in the dark seeing where things will really go. It reminds me a lot of the move to cloud and everyone going all in on it without knowing the real ramifications.
If you’re in a tightly regulated industry, take DETAILED notes and store them off-site for when the lawsuits inevitably hit and they go hunting for someone to pin the blame on. Make sure that it’s clear that a) you didn’t use the stuff that breached regulation, and b) you know who did.
