About this episode
Thomas Beyer discusses the evolution of AI in business, its promises and limits, and its transition from a productivity tool to a capable business partner.
Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses use data, make decisions, and organize work. UC San Diego Rady School of Management's Thomas Beyer looks at that evolution from the early push to collect as much data as possible, through predictive analytics and generative AI, to emerging systems that can act more proactively across business environments. Beyer examines the promises and limits of AI, including questions of bias, hallucinations, return on investment, and human oversight. With examples from enterprise systems and healthcare, the discussion offers a practical look at how AI is moving from a productivity tool toward a more capable business partner.
