I wholeheartedly agree with Oguz A. Acar. While the allure of an "AI-first" strategy is undeniable, organizations must recognize and balance the risks of this approach. Prioritizing AI above all else risks deploying solutions that lack true problem-solving capabilities and may even create new challenges. Let's keep Occam's razor in mind - a principle attributed to 14th–century friar William of Ockham that says that if you have two competing ideas to explain the same phenomenon, you should prefer the simpler one. Execute a balanced approach that focuses on understanding and addressing core organizational needs, empowering people, and adhering to ethical and legal principles. #AI #AITransformation #Balance

The world is changing and is changing very fast, the introduction of AI, the agenda of ESG, the fast evolving Gen Z etc. How then do we position our selves or companies to begin aligning with this change?

This coming week I will be taking a step of faith to introduce to you a segment which will begin giving you insight about what is going on and how to ensure you or your business does not fall behind. #bossmilz #LL #newideas #businessandgrowing

It was great to attend the ‘Enhancing Investment Decisions using AI’ panel discussion this week by the Financial Times and AlphaSense The discussion was extremely insightful, and some great questions were asked by Will Schmitt. The key takeaways for me were… Siân Townson emphasising the importance of proof-of-concept, testing, and piloting AI tools to understand their limitations and capabilities before full-scale implementation. Laurent Laloux highlighting the quality of data fed into AI systems is paramount, as poor data can lead to significant risks - It is crucial to curate and manage your proprietary information meticulously, and both Yashar Jedari and Michael Weinberg stressing the necessity of identifying the specific problems you aim to solve with AI tools and choosing partners who prioritise your needs over pushing solutions is essential. I think AI is such a valuable tool and it does have a potential opportunity cost if not adopted, so I would say now is the time to educate yourself on its uses to leverage its full potential. #AI, #investmentdecisions, #proofofconcept, #dataquality, #proprietaryinformation, #problemsolving, #partnership, #potentialopportunitycost

The future of AI is going to be slower than people think. Most people say it's a 3-5 year thing; that may be generous, but it's not a next month thing. GenAI is great at text-based thing, but on the data side of things, we need to be quite careful. We have to be able to trace it. It's possible, but it has to be built with a clear lineage. Start by experimenting (safely at work!) - get a feel for what's useful. Get data foundation in order. Invest where you have a mode. Don't become an AI company if you're not already one. Use it where it's applicable, and partner with the experts. The regulations are not mature enough for people to know what they are going to do - it doesn't help for people to know if they should make the investment or not, without knowing where the regs are going to go. - Fireside chat with Theo Bell, Rimes at AI in Capital Markets Summit London. #AICMSummit #GenAI #AI #capitalmarkets #assetmanagement
