AI in organizations: some tactics. The story of Hercules: life is supposed to be hard. The fundamental attribution error.
Welcome to a new issue of the newsletter, “Journal of discoveries.”
Each week, I check a list of hundreds of sources of inspiration to spot exciting articles, videos, podcasts, and books on personal development, leadership, management, technology, and innovation.
While this newsletter will remain a free resource, you might consider becoming a paid subscriber to support my work, and get access to my searchable Notion database. Thanks!
And now, let’s dive in!
One “must” for this week
"AI in organizations: some tactics" by Ethan Mollick.
A large percentage of people are using AI at work, and individuals are seeing productivity gains for some tasks.
Yet, managers often say they see little AI use and few productivity gains outside of narrow permitted use cases. So, where do we stand?
Ethan answers that AI that boosts individual performance does not always translate to increasing organizational performance. Getting organizational gains requires R&D into AI use, and organizations will have to do the R&D themselves instead of outsourcing their organizational innovation to consultants or enterprise software vendors.
