Comments: Of all the tech trends coming our way and which are often mystifying to the layperson, the authors identify AI as the “alpha trend”, the most important, as the one which will have greatest effect. They look at:

• 3 myths:

+ Robots are coming for us

+ Machines will take our jobs

+ Current approaches will still apply

• 3 imperatives:

+ Re-imagine business (automate ->re-engineer ->re-imagine)

+ New approach to work: “collaborative intelligence”

+ Responsible AI (a C-suite responsibility)

• 3 challenges:

+ Skills and learning

+ Data veracity

+ There is no finish line

We should all work on acquiring a finer understanding of AI and what effects it is likely to have.
