Stochastic falls

I left the company where I had been working for the past (almost) year. There are various reasons for this, but they all boil down to two main issues.

The first is related to my previous experience. Since I am still involved with my former company, I am working – together with the chairman of the board of directors, who is just as committed as I am –to get a portion of the business back on its feet so that we can try to get back on track and resolve some old issues with the tax authorities and creditors.

The second reason is that the company’s ownership has completely thrown itself into the arms of AI, viewing it as a panacea for all ills and failing to consider the boomerang effect that decisions made today – in haste, without professional advice, without preparation, without in-depth analysis, without understanding the facts or the context, without planning, without shame, without vision, and without trusting those who have been telling them for months: What the hell are you doing? – will have.

AI is certainly a challenge for workers. But I know for a fact that it will also be a huge problem for many entrepreneurs who embrace it without conducting serious, thoughtful assessments of their business strategies. Without knowing the path ahead or paying attention to their steps, the likelihood of stumbling and getting seriously hurt becomes far stochastic.
