Digital transformation #mindcandy: AI debt is inevitable 

Technical debt and shadow AI is coming together in AI debt. It is necessary, particular when you innovate and experiment. It is  the consequence of the speed at which AI is evolving.

The Risks of Ignoring AI Debt

AI debt is inevitable: If an organization is deploying AI, it will have technical, organizational and cultural debt, because AI systems evolve faster than the structures supporting them. The existence of AI debt is not a failure, it is a natural byproduct of progress.

The prompts

  • What’s the first customer-facing failure mode?
  • What are we pretending is “good enough?

Anticipate, discuss this with your leadership team, decide your moves. If you need help, DM me.

Chatbots Are Rewriting What You Think About The Products You Buy
