Businesses are rapidly adopting AI technologies like chatbots and decision-support tools, but many overlook the unpredictability and lack of control in neural network-based systems.
Unpredictability in AI systems can lead to situations like customers exploiting chatbots to make unauthorized purchases or perform unintended tasks.
The fundamental architecture of Large Language Models (LLMs) makes it challenging to understand or predict their outputs, causing reliability issues.
To fully leverage AI's potential, organizations need to move beyond using AI as a personal assistant and integrate it into processes without constant human intervention.
Methods like system nudging, AI monitoring other AI, and hard-coded guardrails offer partial solutions but have limitations in ensuring comprehensive reliability.
A more effective approach involves building AI-centric processes that operate autonomously with strategic human oversight to catch potential reliability issues.
Organizations must rethink how work is done by creating repeatable processes with human review, leading to autonomous operation with periodic human intervention.
In the insurance industry, a revolutionary approach would involve designing automated systems using AI tools monitored by humans, reducing the risk of unpredictability in individual cases.
Explainable AI systems offer a clearer divide between organizations merely using AI and those transforming their operations, giving the latter a competitive edge in their industries.
Unlike black-box AI, explainable AI ensures meaningful human oversight, fostering a future where AI enhances human potential rather than replacing human labor.
