Unintended Consequences

Any idiot can build a system. Any amateur can make it perform. Professionals think about how a system will fail. It’s very common for people to think about how a system will work if it is used the way they imagine. But they don’t think about how that system might work if it were used by a bad actor or a perfectly ordinary person who is just a little different from what the person designing it is like.

Companies need to be thinking about how each product could actually be used in the real world. If you build a product that works great for men and is going to lead to harassment of women, you have a problem. If you build a product that makes everyone’s address books 5% more efficient and then gets three people killed because it gave their personal information to their stalkers, that’s a problem.

What you need is a very diverse working group that can recognize a wide range of problems, that knows which questions to ask and has support inside the company and in the broader community to surface these issues and make sure they are taken seriously. If they’re in there from day one, it makes a huge difference.

Practicing Pitches to AI Avatars

Harvard Business School is using chat and video avatars of its professors in an online boot camp, called Foundry, that it launched in April. Students can pull the A.I. versions of H.B.S. professors into a group text chat to help advise them on their start-up ideas. They can also practice their pitch to customers or venture capitalists with A.I. video avatars that look like the professors. The avatars ask follow-up questions and dispense advice based on both their own expertise and a body of Harvard Business School research and frameworks. - New York Times

Standalone AI Literacy

The returns on standalone AI literacy without domain depth are heading to zero. What the economy will actually reward is deep domain expertise with AI embedded in industrial context. A financial analyst building AI-driven models needs to understand finance first. A biotech researcher using AI for drug discovery needs to understand biology first. The hard skills underneath the AI layer, mathematical reasoning, scientific literacy, domain knowledge, take years to develop and will hold their value. -Sofia Fenichell

The New Workflow Means New Job Interview Questions

A data scientist at a software company said he and his co-workers used to have to write code for every new feature. Now they just come up with the idea and the A.I. writes the code and runs the analysis. His company’s interview process, which was once dominated by questions about coding and rewarded socially awkward nerds, now focuses on whether job candidates can identify good ideas and seem capable of persuading colleagues to back them, he said. -New York Times

What an AI executive tells her kids about the jobs of the future

I tell my kids, play around, try things out. People need to know how to use an AI model, but not necessarily build it. Metacognitive skills will be very important—flexibility, adaptability, experimentation, thinking critically, being able to challenge things. Developing critical-thinking skills requires friction, doing things that are hard, doing deep thinking. For that, a traditional liberal-arts education is really important. Passing judgment, being accountable and responsible for decisions that impact people and society, that’s foundationally important. -Daniela Amodei, President and co-founder, Anthropic quoted in the Wall Street Journal
