Who is it that gets to make choices, though, in practice?
If we think about individuals in organizations, perhaps in more junior roles that have less influence,
what is the kind of agency that they actually get to exert?
So you've talked about how AI wants to be helpful.
It wants to give you answers.
That's not necessarily helpful in an education context.
What other things do we need to do to actually motivate children to learn in schools?
What would be the other goals that we would need to be incentivizing for?
It's interesting you're talking about leaders there.
Everyone, I guess, is in a situation where no one has used AI tools enough to really know what the framework or the model should be.
So how do leaders figure their way through that?
Do you think Leadership Lab and Crowd applies in the same way to, let's say, a smaller 50 to 100 person startup as it would to a 10,000 person org?
The only solution is then that combination of bottom-up and top-down and continuous experimentation.
I think actually that could be a good bridge to talking about weirdness.
You recently wrote an article for The Economist titled, IT Departments Are Where AI Goes to Die, in which you argue that IT's biggest failure is essentially failing to recognize that AI is inherently weird.
Can you unpack the argument?
In practice, how does one actually optimize for weirdness?
It would be a pretty unusual KPI to have inside of an organization, not something that we're used to.
What does it look like when you've optimized for it?
Enterprise AI is obviously expensive.
