We don’t need another polarizing issue. We don’t need another superstition dressed up as philosophy. We don’t need people falling for SCAI.

95% of organizations report no measurable ROI from GenAI. MIT Media Lab / NANDA’s new report (300+ initiatives, 50+ org interviews, 150+ leaders surveyed) finds: 🧵

AI is getting cheaper, faster... yet your costs will still go up. Per-call prices are falling. But in real deployments, multi-agent workflows plan, search, analyze, and verify -- often looping across tools. That means more calls, more context, more activity. 📈 bit.ly/quaesita_gpt...

AI-first has become more of a buzzword than a strategy. For many companies, it simply means using AI because it sounds modern or competitive. In such cases, it’s better to use AI in low-impact areas because high-stakes, uninformed experimentation with AI can lead to serious harm. 👂 👉 bit.ly/ibmpod

We're accumulating ethical debt with AI just like we accumulated technical debt with software. Everyone's rushing to deploy for ROI: "We'll add the ethics layer later." Sound familiar? It's the seatbelt problem - cars had engines from day one, but we only added seatbelts when people started dying.

We'll all need to redesign our trust habits intentionally for the #AI era. AI systems hijack the #trust mechanisms our brains evolved for dealing with our fellow human beings, such as the #fluency heuristic (confident quick responses sound more trustworthy than hesitant slow responses).

Imagine walking into your doctor’s office, slapping down a case of wine, and saying, “I want health, please.” That’s what it sounds like when people come asking for AI as the solution — without clarity, strategy, or intention. At best? You’ll get some arm curls out of that wine bottle.

The more reliable your #AI system seems, the less prepared you are for its inevitable failure. Why? Because when a tool works 99.99% of the time, we round up to 100% in our heads… and skip the safety nets. At scale, that’s a recipe for disaster. 👉 bit.ly/quaesita_aiparadox

Microsoft recently announced plans to rank AI models by safety performance. There’s a lot to like about safety leaderboards. When they’re built well (and I’d only trust the top AI labs to build them well), they help cut through noise and narrow down options fast.
