    When Not to Use Generative AI

    When Not to Use Generative AI

    As we continue to incorporate AI into our own work, it’s worth considering when GenAI is not appropriate — and in those situations, which, if any, other AI techniques are.

    Navigating AI: Cultivate Healthy Human-Technology Partnerships

    Navigating AI: Cultivate Healthy Human-Technology Partnerships

    The potential of new AI tools is unarguable, but the fundamental question remains: How much do you trust AI?
     
    In this episode, which originally aired as part of our Top of Mind video series, Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst Mary Mesaglio explores both our trust and distrust of digital technology and provides insight on how to navigate the complexities of dealing with a nonhuman entity and cultivate healthier partnerships with AI.
     
    Later, Mary discusses critical skills business leaders need to navigate trends, move beyond the hype of new technologies and progress toward genuine innovation. She then examines the potential of AI in very human fields like mental health and the challenges of integrating new technologies in more unexpected fields, such as cardiology.

Please go back to shorter format

I really enjoyed the shorter format where you treated a specific topic after which one could reflect on the ideas discussed, formulate next steps and dig deeper. But the larger format is really distracting as you jump from topic to topic. It also is contrary to the established research on learning abilities and information absorption (smaller chunks are better.)
In any case, this podcast really provides new insights and different perspectives to issues of the day while guiding to the future. Thanks for that.
