Finally a chapter where Webster is out of Morovia, it’s kind of refreshing to imagine a different scenario in your head when you read. But what for sure is different than any chapter is the proposal from Dr. Jamid, it seems we jumped from management to artificial intelligence, specifically a way to measure hunches.
There is a famous expression in the field of AI (artificial intelligence), and it says “When a solution that seems to require AI is created, then it’s no longer AI”. Somehow this expression is very accurate, as AI is always related to what is impossible, but once you make it possible it means there is a tangible solution, and suddenly AI is nothing more than machine learning, lots of graphs, and lots of ifs, in short, AI becomes the quantification of what didn’t seem possible to make numbers out of.
