The Skill Gap Is Coming and Playing Catch-Up Will Cost You (Good Bad Ugly)

Andrew Miles Davis returns to his most popular talk format for another instalment of the good, the bad, and the ugly of generative AI. The good covers strategic planning, explaining how AI handles frameworks around vision, objectives, resources, goals, strategy, and tactics better than most people realise, and why this applies as much to planning a holiday as it does to running a business. The bad goes to the skill gap, arguing that the window to start learning AI without facing serious catch-up pressure is closing fast, and that unlike most learning curves, this one does not level off because the AI itself keeps advancing alongside the people using it. The ugly lands on attention hijacking, covering how AI-powered feeds are increasingly used to manipulate what people see, think, and feel at scale, with political and social consequences most people are experiencing without recognising the mechanism.
