AI / EI: A Balancing Act

AI / EI: A Balancing Act

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become and will continue to be increasingly prevalent and omnipresent in our worlds, and with new developments in AI technology, are likely to become so much more so going forward. Cars park themselves; HR can allow their employees to manage their own vacation time, 401k’s, and keep track of hours worked; (online) stores keep track of our recent purchases to make it easier to buy again by algorithm; our passwords are stored in some mystical cloud so when we log into our favorite websites, they automatically populate; Uber knows our home address magically... clearly we could go on (and on and on... Alexa and Siri have become close personal friends - kidding!). These are all phenomenal technological developments and we marvel at how simple and easy it makes our lives. But, as with just about everything in life, we need to find a counter balance to all these wonders of technology. We are humans and guess what? Humans conceive, create, develop and produce all this magic. And humans need other humans to survive, businesses don’t run by themselves, and employees need to work together to make a business successful. SO. How to find the balance?
