Lack of forward positioned data is NOT the problem.

(It is a problem, but not the biggest one!)

An AI agent making 1000X the decisions IS!

Right now, while the big AI players have achieved 80% to 90% “accuracy” on their carefully designed synthetic benchmarks, when applied to real world problems, accuracy in many domains drops to 25% (or worse, as at most 20% of code generated by an AI survives into a production application once it gets reviewed by a senior developer who finds a plethora of security issues, boundary condition errors, and code that, frankly, just doesn’t solve the problem at all).

THIS MEANS THAT THE AI IS MAKING 750X MORE WRONG DECISIONS THAN THE HUMAN!

That’s a LOT of mistakes.

Meanwhile, give an expert human

a) always available forward positioned data and Augmented Intelligence applications to process it (so all the data the expert human needs to make the decision is at her fingertips)

b) A-RPA (Automation) software that is best-of-breed and capable of immediately executing any decision the human makes (possibly using the forward positioned data and appropriate augmented intelligence outputs)

And that human will make 100X the decisions she’s making now, and get 95% of them correct. So if you hire 10 humans, you will have 25X less errors (5% vs 75%).

When you consider ten humans will cost considerably less than AI when you consider the rapidly rising token costs and the costs of dealing with the 25X increase in errors the AI will bring, Augmented Intelligence powered by Forward Deployed Data and a small team of humans will be a LOT more productive than you ever thought possible.
