Our Purpose
Introduction
The rationale for this central source of helpful resources is to improve the way organisations and employees are ready, willing and able to use and benefit by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Although AI promises the world, the facts show that today many organisations are not getting the most from AI. Although they may mandate employees use AI everywhere possible, there remains a growing reluctance to use this new ‘power tool’.
Organisations may approach AI in various ways from staying silent about its existence, ignore it, use it in discrete ways in discrete business units or mandate everyone use it. However, to be successful with AI, it takes more than trying to fit AI into routine or extraordinary operational tasks.
Goal
Our goal is to offer you and your organisation standard, practical and fun ways to introduce Artificial Intelligence so your management and employees, even customers and vendors, can benefit, rather than avoid using Artificial Intelligence.
Confidence or reluctance builds quietly, step by step. It grows as we ‘give something new’ a go. It grows when we know how to (and choose to) try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome.
Every time you use Artificial Intelligence to help solve a problem or polish an idea, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence grows, not from having all the answers — it grows over time as you figure it out along the way. Some businesses are making it a competition and yet…
Our Offering
Change always brings a level of resistance - AI is no different. Employees are expressing their concern about:
Fear of job loss or becoming obsolete
Lack of proper training or clear “how, when, why”
Distrust about AI results/ fear of errors
Feeling that AI is being forced top-down without employee input
Concern about accountability and loss of personal value.
We must take time to plan and mobilise healthy change management initiatives before and during the introduction of AI. If it is already in use, it can also help to train on standard ways of using it and how this is best done .
Through this blog, we will share new information and ideas as we together explore various components and ideas about how AI can fit in our lives today, starting with:
What is AI?
Which AI tool to use
How to start using it
What to use AI for best
How to evaluate acceptance
How to measure value from using AI
In the future we will feature articles from various leaders in the AI movement and from local experts on topics meant to reduce or overcome AI reluctance. Please join us!
