"AI will automate your inefficiencies. Now is the time to curate your data. Get rid of the noise. Create the right culture and right operating rhythm. If not, you are getting ready to amplify your errors and inefficiencies" Great insight from WorkBoard partner Joel "Thor" Neeb from The Insight Age.
OpenAI leader cautions: “GPT-5's automation capabilities are unprecedented—and will magnify organizational weaknesses.” Jamie and I often discuss the importance of preparing for The Insight Age. Sometimes, people ask us, “What’s the harm in waiting? Enterprise-level AI technology isn’t quite ready yet anyway.” Our response has always been straightforward: “You’re not going to participate in the Insight Age until you fix your data debt, cultural debt, and operations debt. Essentially, you’ll miss out on the most transformative opportunity since the rise of the internet.” But a recent conversation with a Silicon Valley leader highlighted an even more concerning issue. He warned that if you're not prepared and you add AI, it will actually accelerate your downfall – which is exponentially more dangerous than just missing out. AI won’t magically “fix” all our problems. In fact, the first steps of an AI implementation may be to AUTOMATE our inefficiencies. To amplify the noise in our systems. To hardwire and accelerate our WORST practices. This caution comes directly from the leadership team at OpenAI. They recently advised one of our C-level contacts to be careful, as the release of GPT-5 could AMPLIFY existing inefficiencies. It will effectively accelerate whatever state your operations are currently in. And that may not be a good thing. Imagine a motor with old, worn-out gears and parts that don’t quite fit. Now, if we put rocket fuel in that motor and redline it, pushing the sand through the gears at an even faster pace, what do you think will happen? What’s going to happen with your organization’s inefficiencies when you do that with AI? Stay tuned for more real-time insights as we continue to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and The Insight Age. #TheInsightAge #AI #AITransformation #OpenAI #AIInnovation
