Are you critical enough about the use of AI?
Is that a typo in the headline? Should it have actually said AI and not ÆI? The answer is no. Æ.I. stands for Ægte Iintelligence.
AI is booming out there. There are a lot of good things that you can use AI for. For some, AI can help raise the level of knowledge, especially in areas that you are not used to dealing with. For example, I myself used AI (early ChatGPT) to understand how to approach a legal case against a P-company. AI generated all the email responses and documents that resulted in me winning over the P-company - a huge victory that could not have happened without AI's help. The size of the fee would never have been comparable to the bill for a lawyer.
Other times, AI can save you a lot of time by doing the mundane work for you. Here, you may not need AI to be super smart, but simply help solve trivial tasks that do not necessarily contribute to either business or personal development and satisfaction.
I see AI in the way that if you have a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is very low competence and 10 is absolute specialist level, then AI works and contributes in this way:
In other words; if you are smart in your field, you can get help from AI to perform large parts of your task, but don't expect contributions to your skills. AI is no better than what it is fed. And since the internet is overflowing with mediocre knowledge combined with outright misinformation (and here there are active forces that intentionally fill the web with wrong information), there is a great need for real intelligence.
At Unitas We consider ourselves a specialist house. We have a very high level of competence in our fields. And how do we use AI in everyday life?
We build AI agents on our own data and official directives, legislation and guidelines, ensuring that our use of AI only operates on data without misinformation and without manipulation. This saves us manual work, benefits our customers in terms of efficiency and allows employees to spend more time adding AI rather than trivial tasks that do not require special knowledge.
We add AI in the form of critical thinking. When AI helps us – also with information created on the internet, we use our specialist skills to ensure validity and high quality in the final work.
Will there be a gap in the future in terms of what each individual should be able to do? Yes, I definitely think so. There will be even more need for specialists, and 'low end' tasks will be solved almost fully automatically in the near future.
I Unitas We will therefore now and in the future focus on AI to the extent that it contributes to productivity and/or quality. But we will focus even more on the specialists who add AI to AI.
