The AI Trap: Faster Solution, Same Problem

By / Blog / , ,

In “The AI trap: Faster solution, same problem,” David Angelow explains that despite widespread AI adoption, many organizations see no measurable productivity gains because they automate existing complex or inefficient processes without simplifying them first. He argues that the key to AI delivering real value lies in redesigning and streamlining workflows before automation, emphasizing the long-standing principle that technology should accelerate well-designed processes rather than perpetuate waste.

By / Blog / , , ,

Tech leaders often regret treating AI like just another cloud workload, as AI systems fundamentally differ in behavior and scaling from traditional applications. Unlike deterministic and predictably scalable workloads, AI involves dynamic, conditional execution that challenges existing cloud architecture assumptions, leading to issues in cost management, governance, and system design if not properly accommodated.

She advocates for a shift in organizational mindset where employees are treated as stewards of AI, emphasizing trust, clear controls, and distributed judgment to manage AI safely and effectively, rather than imposing restrictive bans that drive usage underground.
