Human Centred AI

Need help navigating this next AI Chapter? Perhaps you're wondering where to start with AI? Maybe you just want to hear some stories of successful AI projects or use cases? Or you simply want to navigate the risks associated with AI? Reach out - I'm here to help. #ai #airevolution #aibusinessoperations Rajith Haththotuwegama https://lnkd.in/grgzCAwy

Want to test your Company AI readiness? Unless you have allocated some Capex Budget to AI projects in 2025, consider your organisation "immature"... Consider this, traditional business cases often become obstacles to innovation—they’re time-consuming to create, and many employees simply lack the skills to write them effectively. By allocating funds for AI initiatives without the lengthy business case process, organisations can foster a culture of experimentation and agility. This approach encourages teams to explore innovative solutions that can drive significant value. Investing in AI shouldn’t be bogged down by bureaucracy. Let’s prioritise experimentation and empower your people to harness the potential of AI! 💡🚀 #AI #Innovation #BusinessStrategy

Imagine if you had a guide that could help you avoid the pitfalls of AI ? Rather than spending millions on projects with uncertain returns, why not invest a few thousand in AI education and experimentation? This strategy can lead to substantial savings and help avoid costly mistakes. My mission is to work with clients to navigate the next chapter with AI - if you'd like some guidance reach out for a discovery call - it's free. https://lnkd.in/g9bErnkP CPA Australia Rajith Haththotuwegama

This IBM article beautifully expresses why I will continue to advocate for humans in the future of work. "Human-Centered AI (HCAI) is an emerging discipline intent on creating AI systems that amplify and augment rather than displace human abilities. HCAI seeks to preserve human control in a way that ensures artificial intelligence meets our needs while also operating transparently, delivering equitable outcomes, and respecting privacy." https://lnkd.in/d2EqFggu

📢 Exciting news! The Australian Federal Government's Digital Transformation Agency has just released a new "AI in Government Policy," set to take effect on September 1st. Here’s a snapshot of the policy: a) Every Federal agency (and Corporate Commonwealth entities, excluding National Security) MUST appoint a dedicated person or committee chair responsible for AI. b) Each agency MUST publish a Transparency Statement detailing their AI adoption and usage strategy. But here’s the twist: - The appointed AI leader must be in place by November 30th this year (yes, that’s in the next 90 days). - The Transparency Statement needs to be published by February 28, 2025 (giving you 180 days, including the holiday season). This policy will likely trigger a rush within federal ranks. Here's what we might expect: 1) A significant demand for senior AI professionals will create a tight job market, driving salaries higher. 2) State Governments may soon follow suit, potentially leading to similar initiatives in Local Government (Australia has 537 Local Government Areas!). 3) Large and medium-sized businesses serving the government will need to adapt, as new AI leaders demand better insight into AI integration across their supply chains. Buckle up, Australia—big changes are on the horizon! 🚀

Well before chat GPT was launched, I was working with a team to experiment with different uses for this new technology. My focus as always was on Human Centred Design and how AI technology can augment humans, not replace them. What do you think - could this work ? We managed to get a hardcoded version of this solution working. https://lnkd.in/gNjksWmw

I get a lot of questions about how AI and a human centred approach makes a better ai product. Here an example : Problem : Due to hiring criteria applicants can ve excluded from great jobs . companies could be overlooking great talent, resulting in the same types of people being hired . This means a lack of diversity or thought, lack of cultural diversity and gender diversity. Here is one potent solution https://lnkd.in/gBGZKEQq

I've worked with Rik and I could not agree with him more on his message here - When it comes to AI " you just need to start" . There seem to be a lot of reasons we come up with not to experiment - because it takes courage! Our brains don't like risk - after all the primary function of the brain is to keep us safe. But to thrive, not just survive in this new world, we need to try new things.... so today I invite you to image a positive future in your organisation with AI.
