#Mindcandy are scenario prompts to help companies formulate strategy. Find out more here.
Scenario prompt 31 July 2025
The prompt for today is AI as a risk. 75% of companies sees AI as a material risk. 75% of developers do not trust the answers AI give, we are moving into an orchestration economy. An orchestration economy based on AI that has food poisoning. You need to consider this and you need to read up. Hence my book about books about AI. You are the upgrade. Augmented natural intelligence. Any other way is recipe for disaster.
The other scenario prompts are networked robots, holograms, quantum computing, printing houses, virtual scientists, agentic AI, and your are the upgrade.
