One thing that has certainly been over hyped about AI is its ability to completely replace human workers. There has been a lot of speculation and fear that AI will lead to a massive loss of jobs, leaving many individuals unemployed. While AI does possess the potential to automate certain tasks, it is important to remember that it is still far from being able to replicate the full range of human skills and abilities. This is especially true in the complex sale. AI is better suited to complement human workers rather than entirely replace them. Brevity - Better Sales Conversations is an excellent example of AI being used to sharpen sales skills for those selling in the complex sale.

The Trough of Disillusionment is where the magic happens—it's the moment when inflated hype deflates, and what remains is raw potential. I agree, this is the phase that will filter out the noise and force us to focus on what Generative AI *actually* brings to the table. The rush of over-promised and under-delivered products will taper off, and we’ll be left with grounded, practical applications that add real value. One overlooked benefit? This disillusionment phase fosters skepticism, which is crucial for pushing the technology forward. Developers will need to focus on genuine improvement instead of riding the wave of inflated excitement. It’s also when true innovation quietly emerges, once the pressure of inflated expectations is gone. As for hype that’s been annoying? Blockchain in every possible context. As much as it has potential, seeing it slapped onto projects just to ride a trend has been exhausting. Question: What do you think will survive the disillusionment phase and prove its long-term value? #AIRealism #CutTheHype #TechEvolution

🚨 AI is on the way down, and I couldn’t be happier. 🚨 Generative AI is entering the Trough of Disillusionment, and I see this as an exciting change. This phase will separate hype from reality, reduce misinformation, and focus on practical applications. I’m eager to see if AI will come back stronger or end up as just another inflated trend. Do you agree? What piece of hype has annoyed you the most? #AI #TechTrends #HypeCycle #GenerativeAI #Innovation

"What do you think will be the next hype after AI?" - A question I received at a party this year. "Irrelevant", I said. "What was the next hype after the internet?" The initial hype after generative AI was introduced for the first time may have slightly calmed down, but AI is no "hype". It's not blockchain, web 2.0, social media, Ello or Clubhouse. It's a structural technological innovation that to a great extent can replace the need for humans altogether. The internet allowed us to do our work more efficiently. AI can do the work for us. Or rather, for the ones operating them. In Norway, 4/10 young adults are afraid of AI, but for the wrong reasons. They are afraid there won't be enough jobs for them, and thus no way to make a living. A legitimate concern, sure. The irony however, is that so many people fear an innovation that in the near future will allow them to not have to work at all. For now, our main concern in regards to AI, should be politicians lack of understanding of the field and it's implications, and the existential threats it might pose. Being afraid of not being able to do work that can be performed faster and better by a language model should be of no concern, as long as the politics manage to keep up. Universal Basic Income (UBI) is now more relevant than ever before, and should be one of the main concerns of any government around the world right now.

Talk of generative AI sucked up all the oxygen in 2023. So, what tech is coming for us in 2024? 👇 Check out this report from The Future Today Institute. As a visual facilitator or consultant working with organizations on strategic foresight, it's critical you stay on the cutting edge of trends that will shape the future. I don't know about you, but most of the time, I feel pretty ignorant and cognitively disoriented. The Future Today Institute's annual tech trends report from Amy Webb knocked my socks off. It provides an in-depth overview of emerging trends in technology, science, and business that will matter most in the coming year. (flexible electronics! a computer made from brain cells?!) The report is a long read, but worth it. Amy outlines 10 major themes that provide a framework for understanding trends, including: — Concept-to-concrete AI that enables rapid ideation. — The crypto winter begins. (Pour one out for Sam Bankman-Fried.) — Making sustainability sustainable. — Algorithms as labor force. — Wearables are back. Now they see/hear everything. And talk. — “Organoid” Intelligence — Big Legal vs. Big Tech — The rise of new materials that will power innovation. — Biotech breakthroughs that could exacerbate healthcare inequalities. — Elections and unintentional misinformation as AI generates synthetic content at scale. She also shares the FTI's methodology for detecting signals of change so you can strengthen your own trend-spotting practices, plus a pretty swanky visual model to play with. With insights on trends in AI, biotech, blockchain, climate, cybersecurity, and more, this report might give you some insight to facilitate strategic conversations with clients and gain confidence in navigating uncertainty.

👀 AI in Crypto: Friend or Foe? 🤔 🤖 AI is transforming the crypto market, from powering advanced trading tools to streamlining development. 😱 But are there challenges? 👉 Let's discuss the impact of AI on crypto and what the future holds. https://lnkd.in/g92hKYrx

As CEOs, especially those of us in the blockchain sector, we are uniquely positioned to understand the transformative potential of emerging technologies like generative AI. McKinsey & Company's latest report states that generative AI could create up to $5.8 trillion per year of global value by 2025. The report suggests that as much as 50% of current work activities could be automated by 2030. However, this shouldn't be viewed solely as a threat to employment. Generative AI has the potential to augment human capabilities, enabling a higher degree of creativity and innovation. It's incumbent upon us as CFOs to guide our organizations in rethinking work structures, talent development, and overall organizational strategy to harness the benefits of AI. That said, the road ahead is not without its challenges. The potential for generative content to spread misinformation is a serious concern that requires robust governance. Additionally, the displacement of workers lacking the skills to adapt to new technologies is a social and ethical issue that we must address. AI’s impact on industries will be profound, and as financial stewards, we must be proactive in guiding our organizations through this transformation. McKinsey's report serves as a timely call to action. The future is closer than we think, and the question for all business leaders is: How are we keeping up with the evolving AI landscape? https://lnkd.in/gDabAEgT #blockchain #Hedera #AI #artificialintelligence #artificialintelligenceforbusiness #financialstewards #CFO

AI 5? What is that a new CNBC term coined by people who wants to leave their mark with acronyms that don’t mean anything and change all the time… What are AI 5? MSFT, NVDA, GOOG, TSMC, META, AMZN, CRM what’s the point great company at the exception of a few are always the same on e they find their footing… more interesting to speak of the ones among the great struggling and stop tombe fomo leading to overvaluation of in histerical trends like AI and undervaluing the classic leaders across other sectors. What about Teleperformance, Cognizant, Adidas, VF Corp, Puma, Kering, LVMH, Nibe Industrier, Pool, Coloplast, Eurofins, Sartorius… all great companies and exevessively demolished right now… And please, there won’t be rate cuts 1H24 and 2H24 is very uncertain as well on that front… stop the predictions and crystal ball-like augurs… stick to trends and trends valudated by years of historical data and research papers… long, mid, short cycles and maybe the 2/10 and try to understand why all that is messed up by helicopter money and what are the likely consequences… good or bad… Come on! AI exists for more than 20 years and gen AI is just starting and is unproven yet with still lots of doubts, research and improvement to do in the accademic research world to improve and validate use cases. And where is the blockchain craze now? And let’s. It talk about crypto… and the whims and volatile moves of these again unproven and barely used fake currencies (as long as legal, compliance and mass use cases and adoption with backing of central banks is there…).
