AI Exam Flashcards
General Purpose Technology
Affects the entire economy and can drastically change society
Problems with the line shaft system
Inefficient energy transmission (big energy waste)
2. All-or-nothing system
1. Machines could not be used without all of the power being on
2. The engine or shaft breaks, everything stops
3. The belts
1. Dangerous!
2. Blocked light
3. Lots of noise
4. Power distribution dictated the layout of the factory
5. Building size was limited
* All of this significantly limited the productivity of factories
The electrification of the factory & reasons for slow progress
At the start people replaced big steam engines with big electric engines in the same factory
* It took DECADES before the factory was redesigned to exploit the benefits of electricity
1. Move to group drive and smaller electric engines for groups of machines
2. And eventually unit drive: 1 machine = 1 engine (engine inside the machine)
* Reasons for slow progress:
* Habit/inertia
* Installed capital
The lag theory of General Purpose Tech
Electrification led to a big increase in productivity, but it took around 40 years for people to fully realize the gains
* The same (but shorter lag) happened with computers in the 70s-90s
* Leading economists argue the same is happening with AI today. Full exploitation of GPT requires organizational, psychological, social,
societal adjustments
* Tech exploitation is as much a human as a technical challenge
* This means that it usually takes a long time before a GPT impacts productivity stats
* (Another reason for why we need a behavioral science course on AI)
AI as General Purpose Tech: Key take-aways
- AI will change every industry & create huge benefits for mankind
- But it’s going to take time before we learn to fully benefit from AI
- Those who get there first will make fortunes
- The barriers are “human” more than technical
Effective integration of artificial and human intelligence is crucial to benefit from the strengths of each
“The New Diversity”
“The New Diversity”
- Effective integration of artificial and human intelligence is crucial to benefit from the strengths of each
- “Weak human + AI + good process” > “Strong human + AI + bad process”
Sequential approach
- AI screening to increase efficiency and effectiveness
What is the big picture
The objective should not merely be to automate tasks that humans are currently doing, but to automate tasks that humans are not currently doing
* To generate value with AI by imagining new uses for recording and matching capabilities
Logic behind CAPTCHA
Make image recognition difficult for machines
* Require more than purely representational skills (matching)
Representation

Interpretation
Marketing is the nexus between
Supply & Demand
Customer Orientation
Decisions are made based on delivery of customer benefits (relative to competition), not product performance
Define Consumer AI
An ecosystem of three elements:
1) Data collection & storage (Listening)
2) Statistical & computational algorithms (Predicting)
3) Output systems (Producing & Interacting)
that enable products and services to perform tasks typically understood as requiring intelligence and autonomous decision making on behalf of consumers
AI Dystopias
Cautionary tales outlining the dehumanizing effect of AI on our existence (freedom, privacy, dignity, etc.) that, when circulated in popular culture, can stimulate anxieties towards Consumer AI
Technophilic Myths
stories that highlight how technology enables a better, more efficient, and fairer societ
Technophobic Myths
Stories that highlight the dark side of technology for business, society and individual
Designing Customer Experiences
- Optimize affective, cognitive and behavioral responses
- Optimize the customer experience across touchpoints
- Maximize positives, minimize negatives
- Exciting products, inspiring advertising, amazing buying environments, …
- Build customer relationships and brand affinity
