AI Has a Problem And Most Businesses Don’t Understand It! With Technology Expert Giancarlo Erra

AI Has a Problem And Most Businesses Don’t Understand It

AI is moving faster than most businesses can keep up with.

But according to Giancarlo Erra, the biggest problem with AI isn't necessarily the technology.

It's understanding it.

In this episode of the Future of Business Podcast, Jay Dhillon sits down with Giancarlo Erra Lead AI Consultant at Altaire, technology entrepreneur, AI strategist and technology professional with more than 25 years of experience.

Giancarlo has spent years helping businesses understand and implement emerging technology, and his perspective on AI goes well beyond the usual hype.

We discuss what AI really is, why it can appear intelligent without actually understanding what it's saying, and why businesses need to slow down and understand the technology before rushing to implement it.

• Why AI isn't actually as new as many people think
• What really changed when ChatGPT arrived
• Why generative AI became so transformative
• The biggest problem Giancarlo sees when working with businesses
• Why knowledge and understanding are more important than simply having access to AI
• Why businesses are moving from being afraid of AI to feeling they desperately need it
• Why enthusiasm for AI can actually become a problem
• Why giving employees AI tools isn't enough
• The importance of training your people before implementing AI
• How AI actually works — explained in simple terms
• Why AI can produce convincing but incorrect answers
• Why you should never blindly trust AI
• The importance of context when using AI
• How businesses can get better returns from AI
• Whether AI will replace jobs
• Why AI could have a major impact on young people entering the workforce
• Why education needs to change
• Why soft skills could become the new hard skills
• The importance of critical thinking, communication and reasoning
• Whether we're currently experiencing an AI bubble
• What excites Giancarlo about the future of AI
• What concerns him most about where AI is heading

The AI race isn't simply about who adopts AI first.

It's about who understands it well enough to use it properly.

As Giancarlo explains during the conversation, businesses can move extremely quickly towards AI while the people actually expected to use it haven't caught up.

That gap could become one of the biggest challenges — and opportunities — for businesses over the next few years.
