Smart Software: A Stupid Human Log Jam
November 8, 2017
I like the notion of Captain Obvious. For me “Captain Obvious” suggests something that is more visible than a purloined letter. Example: Where are the car keys? Obvious answer: In your hand.
I read “The Biggest Roadblock to AI Is a Lack of Skilled Workers.” Da, dah. Captain Obvious. The write up helpfully points out:
Gartner recently found that almost 60 percent of organizations surveyed have yet to take advantage these benefits. Perhaps even more surprisingly, only a little more than 10 percent of surveyed businesses have deployed or implemented any AI solution at all.
Da, dah. Drum roll.
Businesses are trying to reduce costs, generate sustainable revenues, and a few are trying really hard to make sales. Example: Consulting firms.
I noted this passage as worthy of Captain Obvious’ sibling, Lieutenant Imagine That:
We found that while organizations continue to have difficulties finding experienced data scientists for advanced analytics projects, it’s even harder to find employees skilled in AI areas, such as deep learning.
If you want more of these brilliant insights, please, consult the document cited as the source. If that’s not enough for you, I would wager than there are some consultants will explain more about the fairy land of fancy technology.
News flash: MBAs are learning about blockchains, not computational methods that require more than Excel.
