Im not too pessimistic about AI. Common sense seems less than common amongst politicians, business people and the general public and strategic thinking seems to be a dying art. So could the Use of AI help? Would AI have suggested invading Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan was a good idea? Humans did! What about Woolworths disastrous venture into Masters Hardware or Bunnings aborted move into the UK? What would AI have said about Brexit or Robo Debt or the inland Melbourne to Brisbane freight railway?
Even the machines which invariably answer my phone calls to government and businesses don’t seem very smart so a bit more AI to provide the ability to better understand my responses would be a stress reliever.
