I think the reason so many people don’t understand how big AI is going to be is that they don’t understand that everything is an algorithm. Read https://www.ronimmink.com/how-to-optimise-your-decision-making-as-a-leader-using-machines/
Harnessing the OODA Loop in Business: Insights from Jamie Dimon’s Leadership at JPMorgan Chase
The military, which often operates in extreme intensity of life and death and in the fog and uncertainty of war, uses the term “OODA loop” (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — repeat), a strategic process of constant review, analysis, decision making and action. One cannot overemphasize the importance of observation and a full assessment — the failure to do so leads to some of the greatest mistakes, not only in war but also in business and government.
