In the age of “AI”, a graphic is now going around, which allegedly shows a slide from a presentation at IBM circa 1979.
It makes great sense, which, of course, means that companies couldn’t care less. My prediction is that when the upper levels figure out how to get the consultants to use AI to produce an actual summary of the absolute buffoonery happening in the middle levels, we’re going to learn that the middle had more to fear from AI than the lower levels.
Now someone has updated the slide for the obvious new use cases.
But I hardly see the point of the comparison. We’ve seen decades of war crimes committed by both parties, and the only person who went to jail was one of the whistleblowers. It’s not like the Department of War has anything to fear over being held accountable for Geneva convention violations anyway.
