Trust yourself

c/o Medium

Artificial Intelligence (AI) lacks business acumen, it cannot delve into a business and apply nuance, experience, or patterns learned from other contexts. Back in the days when I used to sell clothes and accessories, I visited various businesses and noticed that many of them faced similar problems, despite different contexts. I think by observing these patterns, I can now have meaningful conversations with leaders and senior executives about their businesses. While AI can analyse data and provide information, it cannot interpret it in a way that human beings can understand, because it cannot grasp the context of what is truly happening in a business. What do you think?
