AI Will Make Bad Decisions Faster: Rory Sutherland
from We Have A Meeting
Rory breaks down why AI in the hands of procurement and finance teams will be catastrophic, how the shareholder value movement since the 1980s has created a managerial Ponzi scheme that misaligns leadership with everyone else in the company, and why the purpose of a business should never be profit maximization but the discovery of new sources of value. He explains why Octopus Energy is now bigger than British Gas by focusing on customer service instead of cost cutting, how Herbert Simon's Nobel Prize winning philosophy completely contradicts Milton Friedman's shareholder value doctrine, and why businesses that optimize for efficiency instead of discovery will make terrible decisions faster with AI.
