Curated: AI Brings New Jobs in the Corporate World

In her January 2024 New York Times article, Yiwen Lu zeroes in on the ways that AI is creating jobs in the corporate world, and specifically in the healthcare industry. So often, we hear that professionals across markets are scared that AI will take our jobs, making it increasingly difficult to remain relevant as a human in our digital world. But, that perspective fails to incorporate the fact that we need humans in new roles, designed to help us utilize AI safely and efficiently, especially in markets as sensitive as healthcare, as an example. Remember our Founder’s take on this exact topic, from our Look Forward into 2024? Our stance matched Lu’s: Is AI replacing some positions? Sure. But it’s also giving rise to new positions, as our corporate landscape changes.

And with serverless computing comes the benefits most organizations wish to realize by migrating to the cloud. So, what is serverless computing?

Accenture's 25 Cloud Trends for 2021 and Beyond: Our Thoughts

Accenture offers a compelling argument to take up a perspective that offers a broad view. As fantastic as Accenture’s article is, I am compelled to challenge their optimism regarding the future of the private cloud, as it is currently defined.  

Accenture’s more optimistic-than-average view of the future of the private cloud is based on the same hope-as-a-strategy foundation as the shouters from the roof-tops that I mentioned in my last post.  Their logic is predicated on a seemingly magical absorption of skills and expertise across all organizations that are required to cost-effectively implement a private cloud and then “enjoy the benefits of both” using a hybrid model, all while the acceleration in the rate of change continues its exponential trajectory.  That suggests every business, regardless of their primary industry and business model, will include a sufficiently trained and competent team, costly hardware, and sophisticated software to effectively manage a portion of cloud computing internally and keep pace with advancements made by those firms with the greatest incentives to invest in R&D. 

A SIDE NOTE 

That is a bit like combining the power companies with their scale and expertise with a private version of an equally capable private power grid infrastructure service provider.  Even most generators that serve as private business back up power sources are installed, maintained, and supported by third parties with power utility skills, focus, and business model.

Hey, you, get onto my cloud: building a cloud strategy for a post-pandemic world

The global COVID pandemic wreaked havoc, causing unanticipated disruptions and economic instability across many sectors in the global economy.  

Business continuity plans failed, highlighting areas of weakness, chief among them the ability to rapidly adapt to change and remain resilient. Such weaknesses were exacerbated and magnified as struggling businesses continued to survive and recover to pre-pandemic operations and financial performance.  

Such vulnerabilities have, in turn, radically intensified the pressure placed on business leaders across industries and markets to act with thoughtful urgency. Technology investment planning has been reimagined, with the goal of using emerging digital technologies to reduce the number of unmet needs within an organization.

This article highlights four of the myriad reasons to focus technology investments toward cloud-computing.

Keeping Pace Requires an Open Mind

Is US healthcare really ready for AI?

This morning I searched Google using the literal string "AI in healthcare". An astounding 670,000 results appeared instantaneously. I chose to search a more refined index and executed the same query over Google Scholar. In .67 seconds Google delivered 2,640 results.

There is little question that AI is a potential healthcare game changer. For AI to work, it requires lots and lots of data. And the data must be sufficiently comprehensive to represent the full breadth and depth of the real world manifestation of whatever healthcare use case is modeled. Unfortunately, the "inconvenient truth" is that health data is disjointed, compartmentalized, poorly shared, and semantically inconsistent.

Can US banks keep up?

In the age of autonomous driving vehicles, privately funded space tourism, and AI initiatives seeking to model and replicate human consciousness (Lex Fridman Podcast episode #215), it is hard to imagine that over 40% of US banks still rely on COBOL (a 60+ year old technology) as a core technology platform.

Accelerating rate of change

Did you know that 50 years ago the average life expectancy of companies listed on the S&P 500 was about 60 years, and now companies listed on the S&P 500 last less than 20 years. Such a precipitous decline - nearly 70% - in the life expectancy of companies listed on the S&P 500 is a vivid illustration of the disruptive nature change can have on businesses, industries, and entire markets. But that is not the whole story. After all, many businesses recognize the inevitability of change and the need to adapt accordingly. The stats suggest there is more to the disruptive nature of change - another dimension that is often overlooked. What happens when the rate of change is also changing?

Accelerating rate of change is perhaps the most critical source of disruption in the digital economy.

More than technology

Digital transformation fails when those responsible for executing on a strategy fail to understand the holistic nature of real digital transformation. It requires adaptation across the entire continuum of human experience to survive and thrive in this global digital ecosystem. If we wish to distill digital transformation down to its first principle, it is about recognizing and adapting to rapid change driven by the convergence of advanced information technology, biology, and the environment in which we exist.

Media is changing - 7 predictions

In 2016, Business Insider's Ignition conference offered a glimpse into the future of media. And it appears that future is now. How good are we at predicting? Certainly, advancements in all things digital offer the potential for insights previously beyond our reach. There is, however, much more noise than signal. We need to ask the right questions, evaluate the answers, and surgically tease the signal from the noise.

Digital is going fast

New products and platforms make space for new cycles of innovation, all of which tend to follow a similar cycle.

We should understand the past to anticipate what is to come. Sounds right. Beware of our tendency, as humans, to "understand in hindsight" by crafting narratives to explain. Predictions have no stories to fit what has not yet happened. We don't know what we don't know.

Hyper-adaptability is thus the most valuable competitive advantage.
