  • Summary

  • The week the discussion delves into the changing landscape of analytics and AI-related job titles, emphasizing the importance of real human intelligence over the fascination with new technologies. We question why artificial intelligence generates more excitement than genuine human intelligence and explore the challenges of managing and valuing real intelligence versus artificial intelligence. We critique the notion of a meritocracy and discuss the difficulties in transitioning from an analyst role to a managerial position, emphasizing the evolving role of managers as technical expertise becomes less central. Additionally, we explore the unpredictability of the future and the complexities within organizational structures and decision-making processes, concluding that the future is uncertain but likely to be an interesting journey.
