About this episode

The episode discusses the real opportunities presented by AI amidst the hype and challenges faced by businesses in leveraging technology for innovation.

What’s the Real AI Opportunity? You know me. I think the AI thing is a bit of a sandstorm. A gold rush. There’s no question its useful (I use it for a ton of stuff actually) and there’s no question its only going to get better. But in the early stages of any new tech, there’s a lot of hype, a lot of bandwagon-joining, and a lot of waste. (Y2K? NFT’s? Anyone…?) What I can say for sure is there’s not a ton of benefit in building Custom GPT’s that will ‘replace what we do’. First of all…why would we hasten our own exit? But also, where’s the consistency of knowledge going to come from? The internet? The bad ideas peddled in certifications? Reddit? Then I hear there’s AI opportunity in binding and automating JIRA workflows, or even PO through development strands. Interesting ideas with no real contenders yet. But here’s what I DO know. Businesses, especially the biggest ones struggle with speed. They’re desperate to innovate – if only to beat their competitors to market. They have the best talent pools, and funds to build and experiment. They’re just no darned good at it. Same story…
