AI’s Dirty Secret: Are you letting someone sell your job for their yacht fuel?
We’re drowning in AI hype…
• Influencers shriek, “AI will solve climate change by Tuesday!”
• Marketers promise “one prompt = instant millions!”
• Tech giants hawk AI like it’s a “magic espresso shot for profits”
• Alarmingly, Tech giant’s Chief Economist claims only 6% of corporates use GenAI – implying the other 94% are dinosaurs
But let’s pause;
For someone who’ve weathered dot-com busts, ’08 meltdowns, and blockchain manias know a truth: raw technology ‘without wisdom’ is like giving a Ferrari to a teenager with no driver’s ed
Fast? Oh hell – Yes
Sustainable? Rarely
The Global Delusion of “Flick-of-a-Second” Miracles
AI is revolutionary. It scans tumors, trades stocks, and writes limericks. But the myth that it’s “stupidly simple”?
That’s – marketing fairy dust
A. Healthcare’s Reality Check
• West’s Wake-Up Call: IBM Watson Health promised “revolutionary cancer care.” $62M later? Sold for parts after misdiagnosing treatments
• East’s Wisdom: Apollo Hospitals (India) deploys AI in rural clinics – but final diagnoses require Delhi specialists’ sign-off. Result: 3x faster screenings, 31% fewer lawsuits
– Lesson: “AI suggests. Humans heal.”
B. Finance’s Tightrope
• Raw Enthusiasm’s Hangover: Algorithmic traders love “black box” AI… until Knight Capital’s code triggered a $20B flash crash
• GCC’s Balanced Blueprint: Emirates NBD (UAE) trains AI to flag high-net-worth clients eyeing offshore investments. Human bankers then swoop in with tailored solutions. Result: 22% cross-border AUM growth – No relationship managers replaced
– Lesson: “AI spots the money. Humans build the trust.”
When tech leaders scream “adopt AI or die,” they ignore a brutal truth: job displacement ≠ innovation
Automating 40% of tasks without reskilling (McKinsey, 2023) is societal Russian roulette
Manufacturing’s Crossroads:
• West’s Speed Trap: Tesla’s “lights-out” factories glitch, halting production when machines mis-weld batteries
• Asia’s Human-Machine Harmony: Tata Steel (India) uses AI as a “safety guardian” – scanning furnaces for leaks but letting engineers execute shutdowns. Impact: Zero deaths, 14% productivity bump
The Wisdom Framework: AI as Humanity’s Co-Pilot
• Augment, Don’t Replace
• Data is cold. Culture is warm
• Ethical Guardrails > Exponential Growth
• Reskill or Perish (Gracefully)
The Bottom Line :
• AI is a phenomenal tool, not a messiah. Let’s channel our enthusiasm wisely
• Use AI to make humans more consequential, not redundant
The goal?
A world where:
• AI handles spreadsheets; humans handle strategy
• Algorithms predict churn; we nurture loyalty
• Tech serves society – not vice versa
Anything less is just building “Skynet” with better PR 😁
