Wisdom, AI, Intelligence and Being Left of Bang

When we say #ThinkBeyond, what we really mean is: Think anew. The irony of the word'intelligence' in our industry is that it has come to mean an empty set of quickly expiring, low-confidence, weakly-attributed, slow-to-operationalize, cloud-dependent, noise. Even so, it has become a virtual currency between C-level intelligence communities, traded almost like challenge coins, in a quid-pro-quo manner. This dynamic defeats the whole purpose of'intelligence' to begin with, much like when monetized search results killed the dream of free information for the world during the early 2000's. What we need to do in the industry is to shift focus to a different kind of intelligence that has wisdom as its goal.
