Six critical strategies to navigate AI unpredictability

Artificial intelligence, while offering significant opportunities, is inherently unpredictable. Algorithma's previous articles have explored the complexities of AI, particularly the challenges posed by the risk of AI producing outcomes that are difficult to predict or explain. This unpredictability is not just a technical issue but a strategic concern for businesses that rely on AI for critical operations. Without robust risk management, businesses face potential disruptions and challenges that could undermine the long-term success of their AI programs and have severe adverse consequences for brand reputation, regulatory compliance, or operational robustness.

CTO update: How to get impact from generative AI

Unlike traditional computers that provide deterministic outputs, Large Language Models (LLMs) introduce a new paradigm with their probabilistic nature. This shift allows for variability and adaptability, closely mimicking human-like behavior and expanding the scope of what technology can achieve. This means we need to take a new approach to computers, and a structured approach to architecture and implementations.

Did we accidentally make computers more human?

Traditionally, computers have been deterministic machines - systems that produce the same output given the same input. However, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) challenges this, introducing a new paradigm where computers exhibit behavior that seems almost human-like in its variability and adaptability. In a world where humans are still trusting computers to be deterministic, and where businesses are rushing to implement generative AI wherever they can, it is more important than ever to be targeted, thoughtful, well-scoped and armed with clear metrics to track impact and success.

AI as a tool to advance the circular economy

With a growing world population and escalating consumption levels, production and consumption patterns need to shift towards sustainability. To combat climate change effectively, business models must separate resource use from economic gain. This could be the circular business model, which revolves around reusing and recycling resources within an infinite system. Through this approach, known as decoupling, the link between resource consumption and environmental degradation can be broken. Transitioning to a circular economy is essential to meet climate targets and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
