    AI systems are inherently complex systems. There's a significant risk of failure, with perilous consequences. Ethan Mollick asked an AI to suggest ways to address these problems. Worth digesting carefully... #AIRisk #AIstrategy #agenticAI

    The 18 Reasons Why Complex Systems fail is a classic (and short! everything is in the images). Complex systems fail for complex reasons, and only adaption & learning by organizations, as well as individual actions, keep us safe. I gave the document to Claude to come up with more rules (with black background) and dang it, they are pretty spectacular on just the first try. Number 25, "Modern systems conflate efficiency with resilience" is especially great, as are 22 "System success paradoxically increases fragility" and number 23 on mental models.

    🔥 WEEKEND READ🔥 The Future Of AI: Expert Insights From Industry Professionals CapGemini with a LONG and THOUGHTFUL read on AI that is a perfect "Weekend Read." This read is epic and covers AI from virtually every angle. It doesn't shy away from AI's problems and is a credit to the author, Capgemini. 🫡 I salute Capgemini for producing excellent research covering everything from AI to payments. Their reports are simply some of the best in the business. Did you hear that, McKinsey?👂 Remember as you read this "tome" that all the people interviewed are in the AI business. They are not disinterested or objective. They want you to see the bright future of AI that they see. That isn't all bad. We can learn a lot from them, and their optimism is contagious. That said, remember that this document might minimize the pitfalls, trials, and difficulties many will face on the road to AI adoption. Perhaps this isn't the place to highlight them as it sells an important vision, but do keep that in mind! That's why I recommend not reading this as a "how to" guide, but as an inspirational read to help direct you to the possible better futures we can all have with AI. Plenty of other documents will deal with the risks to avoid along the way! If you keep that in mind, it's a fabulous long-read and is inspirational. ✍️What do you think? Am I too harsh, or is that helpful? Obviously, they all want to sell you on AI. Show me the money! ♻️Reposters you are the best!

    What do we want an AI-driven world to look like, and are we on the right track to get there? "Assessing potential future artificial intelligence risks, benefits and policy imperatives", a new report from the OECD, distils research and expert insights on prospective AI benefits, risks and policy imperatives. READ THE REPORT 👉 https://lnkd.in/eAf2PyEZ As the swift evolution of AI technologies calls for policymakers to consider and proactively manage AI-driven change, the report identifies ten policy benefits and risks to prioritise. Finally, it enumerates actions that policymakers can take to fill the gaps with a comprehensive set of approaches. The report was guided by the OECD’s Expert Group on AI Futures, a group of international AI experts established to help understand and anticipate how AI could develop and the potential impacts on our societies. A special thanks to the group's co-chairs, Francesca Rossi, Michael Schönstein and Stuart Russell, for their guidance.

    🔥 MUST READ🔥 FSB's AI Warning: Amplifies Vulnerabilities Despite its Benefits Better late than never, the Financial Stability Board (FSB) finally acknowledges that AI may negatively impact stability and amplify vulnerabilities. If you thought using AI to control nuclear arms was a bad idea, wait until you see the FSB's list of problems with AI in financial markets. The truth is that the FSB doesn’t know AI’s impact. AI is so new and unevenly disbursed within the financial system that no one, including the FSB, can determine where the vulnerabilities lie. That isn’t to say that we should fear a crash tomorrow, but we should be mindful of AI's potential impact on stability. Remember programmatic trading? This predicament will seem eerily similar for those old enough to remember flash crashes and the impact of programmed trading on markets. Like AI, no one knew how widely disbursed programmed trading was or what would happen if all the programs sold stocks at once until it happened. I suspect our next AI crash will be similar! 👉VULNERABILITIES 🔹 Third-party dependencies and service provider concentration: Greater reliance on and market concentration among AI service providers can increase systemic third-party dependencies in the financial sector. 🔹 Market correlations: AI-driven correlation vulnerabilities could interact negatively with increasing levels of automation in financial markets and greater speed and accessibility. 🔹 Cyber threat: LLMs and GenAI could enhance cyber threat actors’ capabilities and increase the frequency and impact of cyber-attacks, including those on vendors. 🔹 Model risk, data quality, and governance: Wider uptake of complex AI approaches could increase model risk for FIs that cannot effectively validate, monitor, and, when necessary, correct AI models. 👊STRAIGHT TALK👊 I am the first to admit that your broker’s chatbot won’t likely cause a crash and that many AI uses are benign.  That said, many new AIs are quietly being brought online for their predictive power, and we don’t know where they are concentrated. We do know that most AIs are black boxes, and their masters can’t fully predict their actions, making them less predictable than programmatic trading. For one example, look at Ant International’s latest product for corporate treasury management, which predicts currency exchange rates hourly to help reduce transaction costs. While treasury transfers won't tank markets, they’re a great example of how AI and pricing are connected and likely already deeply buried in markets. AI is great, but someone better get busy regulating it before we repeat another flash crash or worse. ✍️ Am I too pessimistic, or can you see the next AI flash crash coming, too? ♻️Reposters you are the best!

    #Futurise Season 2 Episode 2 Further exploring the Art of the #AgenticAI Possible with Simon Torrance, #CEO and #Founder of AI Risk. It is a fascinating conversation about what is now possible with AI teams, or AI team members in the organisation. Of course, beyond "what is possible", the question is also "what is right?" How do we find the right balance between human and AI team members, and how can we apply the concept of High Performing Teams to hybrid teams? We start the conversation in this episode, and will continue to return to it in future episodes throughout this season. My thanks to Simon for joining me as my guest in this episode and sharing his insights and experience in this fast accelerating topic of Agentic AI. #AITeamMembers #HighPerformingHybridTeams

    Enterprise AI is moving from 'experimental' to 'essential', says this in-depth report by The Wharton School. The key to successful adoption of Gen AI will be proper use cases that can scale, and measurable ROI as well as organization structures and cultures that can adapt to the new technology. We couldn't agree more...

    More than 30% of all (US) workers could see at least 50% of their occupation’s tasks disrupted by GenAI, according to the The Brookings Institution. Unlike previous automation technologies that primarily affected routine, blue collar work, GenAI is likely to disrupt a different array of “cognitive” and “nonroutine” tasks, especially in middle- to higher-paid professions. Despite the high stakes for workers, business and society is not prepared for the potential risks and opportunities that generative AI is poised to bring. The report emphasizes the importance of developing strategies to proactively shape AI’s impact on work and workers. This includes fostering worker engagement in AI design and implementation, enhancing worker voice through unions or other means, and developing public policies that ensure workers benefit from AI while mitigating harms such as job loss and inequality. We strongly agree! https://lnkd.in/d5hK4K2f
