We’ve seen a lot of discussion about AI projects not showing significant ROI, and this may be because the results are not trustworthy, which raises the question of whether the data being modeled is reliable. If AI is surfacing incorrect information because the model was built on outdated and inaccurate data, the problem lies with the source of the data.
I’ve talked about this before, but it bears repeating. Change is our reality. The most challenging students I worked with as a trainer weren’t the ones who struggled with a concept or had to overcome a barrier related to language or cultural understanding. It was the ones who didn’t think they needed to change anything they had been doing for years. They didn’t understand why they were being asked to change the way they worked.

They may not be the perfect medium for connecting with other people online or staying informed, but at least we get to choose what we subscribe to and what fills our readers’ and inboxes. As an internet user, I’ve always been a fan of RSS as a way to stay informed and follow my favorite sources. As a creator, I’ve learned to love newsletters as social media has become less effective for sharing my blog posts. As someone with many friends in faraway places, I’ve been a fan of social media as a technology that can keep us connected, but it seems to be doing less and less of that these days.
