A recent Bloomberg article reporting on Goldman Sachs restricting traders and bankers from using certain AI tools caught my attention (Goldman restricts traders and bankers from using some AI tools). While there may be several reasons behind such restrictions, it got me thinking about something we discuss less often in the AI conversation: competitive advantage….
I remember the first time I used AI at university. It was during the spring semester of 2023. In that semester, we had this group project where we had to build a travel website. The idea was to create a platform where clients could book activities and tours for their perfect trip. We had to…
One of the most memorable moments from my master’s thesis research happened during my very first interview. I asked an interviewee whether he had any general concerns about AI and how it might affect his work. His answer was not about job losses, inaccurate information, or the technology becoming too powerful. Instead, he raised a…
AI has made it incredibly easy to produce polished writing, images, videos and basically anything else a marketing team might need. And at first, this seems like an amazing thing. More creativity, lower costs, faster production. But there is another side to it. Sometimes I can tell a post was probably written by AI before…
AI-generated music has officially reached a point where the music industry has had to draw a line. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has updated its chart rules so that tracks that are “wholly AI-generated” cannot compete on the national charts. ARIA’s new rules essentially draw a distinction between music where AI is used as…
GPT-6 Astra is officially here. It can navigate browsers, click buttons, use different software and complete multi-step tasks without needing a human to approve every single action. My first thought was basically: this is impressive. My second was: what does this actually mean for people at work? I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit…
One of the biggest promises of generative AI is speed. Need a report? AI drafts it in seconds. Need a summary? Done almost instantly. Need a block of code? It appears before you’ve finished reading the prompt. At first glance, it feels like a huge productivity boost. But after using AI and interviewing professionals on…
Generative AI has quickly become part of everyday work. Yet not all collaboration looks the same. There are two dominant workflows, and the difference may seem subtle, but it has important consequences for accuracy and decision-making. The first workflow is treating AI as a specialist brought in for a specific assignment. You think first. The…
There’s no shortage of advice about how to write better prompts. But I’ve started to think prompting isn’t the skill that will separate great AI users from average ones. Judgment is. One idea I’ve come across that really stuck with me is something researchers call the “Jagged AI Frontier”(https://mitsloan.mit.edu/ideas-made-to-matter/working-definitions/what-is-jagged-ai-frontier). It’s based on a simple observation:…
Generative AI has blurred the line between tool and team member. When an engineer uses an AI agent to write 70% of a pull request, or a creative director uses generative models to construct a campaign’s core key art, a thorny question emerges: Who actually owns the work? Not legally, necessarily, but intellectually. For decades,…
