But Alane Boyd and Micah Johnson call this "over automation," and it's costing businesses time, money, and sanity.The hosts have seen it repeatedly: companies build elaborate "hands-off" AI systems only to spend more time fixing what AI got wrong than they would have spent doing it manually. The problem isn't the technology, it's the approach.In this episode you will learn:Why 80% is the automation sweet spot and 100% creates more problemsThe difference between automation and AI automation and why it matters for your workflowsHow to design systems with human judgment built in without losing efficiencyWhy micro-automations beat monolithic systems for maintenance and reliabilityReal examples from Goldman Sachs showing how even Wall Street keeps humans in the loopThe two camps getting AI wrong and how to find the middle ground that actually worksIf you are building AI workflows or considering it, this episode will save you from expensive mistakes and show you how to get the balance right. The real question is not "how much can I automate?" It is "where do I still need to be the smart one?"Tools and frameworks mentioned: Clauden8nClickUpZapierMakePipedriveTo sign up for our AI News Brief, sign up at the Biggest Goal community.Learn More about our AI Leadership WorkshopWinning businesses aren’t just working harder, they understand how to use AI strategically.
