AI: Beyond the Headlines
“Artificial intelligence could lead to extinction, experts warn.”
“300 million jobs will be lost or degraded by artificial intelligence.”
“Why the AI revolution may wind up killing capitalism.”

These are actual headlines that have appeared in the popular press over the past couple of years. I’m sure they generated plenty of clicks for their publications, but I also doubt these articles did much to educate readers about the true potential of AI. Understanding and effectively leveraging this emerging technology is going to be critical to business success in the coming years, but leaders should watch out for these common misconceptions.
