Can AI Teach You How to Be a More Effective Human?

As technology advances, AI has an opportunity to not only impact business practices, but actual human traits and interactions. We've long heard that AI is going to disrupt every facet of business, with a wide range of benefits touted, including increased efficiency, better customer service and lower overhead. But too often, AI implementation misses its higher-end potential by being limited to the automation of simple tasks -- the marketing department wants to analyze customer data faster, while the procurement office wants to optimize supply chain orders. Although addressing these tasks is beneficial, many companies have struggled to fully realize the potential of AI, which has caused an industry-wide disconnect about what AI can offer both individuals and businesses. Compounding this confusion, AI has become a catch-all term, almost like "software" or "technology," which leaves companies and society confused about what it means, its real intent and its real impact.
