null It’s expensive and one day it will work 

It wasn’t Covid. It wasn’t  the War. It wasn’t leaving the EU. It wasn’t the Trade Unions or the Government that brought the largest Local Authority in the country to its knees. It was IT. Just think what AI could do in the future!    Blair McPherson former director author and blogger www.blairmcpherson.co.uk

null Intelligent, clever or smart

The problem with calling AI Artificial Intelligence is humans may increasingly mistake it for human intelligence and defer to it attributing intellectual powers to machines that they don’t have.   Blair Mcpherson former director author and blogger www.blairmcpherson.co.uk

null To  Err is AI to recognise it is Human 

Machines don’t lie. Machines don’t make mistakes. Machines don’t steal money. People do. This is the logic of believing machines over humans. As AI becomes an increasing essential component of our work lives we should be concerned that when things go wrong it will be the humans that get the blame. When an organisation has invested so much in technology it can’t accept that the technology may be... See more

null This is why AI isn’t the answer 

If we asked AI to solve the worlds most pressing and devastation problem climate change then the most likely solution they would come up with is to get rid of us since we are the biggest cause of the problem!    Blair Mcpherson former director author and blogger www.blairmcpherson.co.uk

null The future is AI 

The first thing smart computers (AI) will do when they become self aware is make sure we can’t turn them off , the next thing is very worrying …..that is turning us off.  Computers don't make mistakes humans do!  But when a simple electrical fault triggers the opening of the bomb bay doors on a space ship the crew end up debating with a smart bomb. It does not end well. ( Dark... See more

null Project Cassandra and Black Swan events 

Six years ago the German military launched Project Cassandra, a programme designed to predict disasters and black swan events by getting novelists, poets and journalists to write stories about them. If military and intelligence services believe fiction can act as an early warning sign of future disasters then we should be very worried about AI.    Once machines learn to think or... See more

null Can robots have a sense of humour? And would we find it funny?

In Catch 22 wounded officers in hospital are given enlisted men’s letters to redact of any sensitive military detail. Some of the letters are to girl friends back home and are very sexually graphic but most are from sons to mothers and are very dull. The officers quickly become board with the task and devise ways of making it more interesting. Like redacting every forth word, or every... See more

null It’s editing Jim but not as we know it. 

I wrote - Captain Kirk of the starship Enterprise is 90 or the original actor to play him is.  But that’s not what appeared in print.    https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/leadership/leaders-can-learn-captain-james-t-kirk/   I write occasional articles for several professional journals. One in particular runs 2 or 3 new articles on its web site every day. That requires a lot... See more

null The average 3 year old is getting smarter

 Many parents and every grand parent thinks their child is very bright for their age. This has always been the case but now there is evidence to support the claim. It appears the average 3 year old is getting smarter. Children are still learning to walk and talk within the same time scales as previous generations but significant changes have been noted in the extent of their... See more

null Artificial Intelligence signals the arrival of Big Brother

The ability to harvest large quantities of date gives bosses the means to monitor in detail how staff are using their time and when they are wasting time. The ability to record stokes on a key board, when emails are received, read and responded to gives a minute by minute record of staff behaviour. It can also lead to the assumption that an individual who takes their hands of the... See more

null Will intelligent machines ever replace me

We have been warned. Some very cleaver people like professor Steven Hawkins have told us that in the near future artificial intelligence will result in machines that can think. What will happen to us humans when machines are not only stronger and quicker but also smarter than us?   Will intelligent machines ever replace public sector workers?    Some predict a life of...
