MANILA, Philippines — First of all, ask yourself honestly how you are thinking about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) currently. As a search engine? As a chatbot? As a tool that still makes a lot of mistakes, so better we wait a little till these are gone? As a threat that can do more harm than good? As something that will be great “at some point,” but not now, not yet?
If you are a business leader, business owner, or CEO and you answered “yes” to any of these, or if you hesitated just a little bit before you answered, you are already in what I call the “AI Trap.”
The AI trap is that you think you—and your business—is using AI, but you are actually not. You are left behind while others—your competitors—are racing in Formula 1 cars. What do I mean by that? Let’s take the replies above apart one by one.
