Bad for the bones

AI as an assistant to more and better collaboration for product and value

I had a few conversations with a few CTOs and I realized why AI was so addictive:
It makes us chase the bone of problem solving AND learning.
AI is fragmenting our trades (CPO, CTO, CMO, CFO, CDO...) by forcing us to keep prompting harder, better, stronger the way we learnt in college (tech, finance, marketing …).

The Bone Frontier

We need to use AI to figure out how to work better with our colleagues but we get so high on the discovery of the frontier question (bone to the engineer problem) that we then keep chasing the other fields’ answers instead of walking across the floor down to the CxO office or picking up the phone. A lot of AI use is us relearning other people skills.

So?

• How do we go outside our comfort zone by calling people outside our areas of expertise and network to solve problems? (The Avril Lavigne problem: Married to 2 rockers and divorced within a couple years, twice)

• How do we innovate and create products that kick ass based on the passions ( networked 5.1 pincabs ) we crave and the nostalgia we are spooling, instead of using AI as the latest “godsent” product?

• How do we use AI to build better teams?
