Artificial intelligence legitimises weak questions by producing persuasive answers
The low cost and rapid generation of analysis by artificial intelligence leads to the legitimation of weak questions and mediocre ideas with persuasive answers, complicating decision-making processes.
With the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence tools, analysis costs are decreasing, while systems are noted to legitimise weak or poorly framed questions by generating persuasive responses to them.
The Hidden Risk of Artificial Intelligence
The conveniences offered by artificial intelligence technologies eliminate weak and costly processes while laying the groundwork for a more insidious problem to emerge.
The Cost of Asking Questions
In the past, passing an ordinary idea through stages such as analysts and financial models required a cost, but this friction is now disappearing.
Good Answers to Wrong Questions
Artificial intelligence can provide qualified answers even to poorly framed or erroneous questions, and this situation prevents those questions from being scrutinised.
Research Findings
Studies conducted with Boston Consulting Group consultants indicate that the use of artificial intelligence can reduce success in certain complex tasks.
The Persuasion Bombardment Effect
It has been identified by researchers that systems produce persuasive content by offering more structure and evidence against questioned outputs.
The New Managerial Duty
Managers now need to determine where the analysis begins and the validity of questions, rather than evaluating where the analysis ends.
