While AI has made significant strides, particularly in language manipulation, it still faces significant limitations that prevent it from being a "magic bullet" for our industry. Here's a breakdown of our conversation and what it means for Clarity: The AI Strengths We Can Leverage: Narrative Generation: AI is fantastic at generating narratives, summaries, and improving existing ...

The Pitfalls of Overrelying on Data-Driven Decision Making

By Brian Nathanson
One of the latest situations I've seen recently is product managers that want to make "data-driven decisions" when trying to establish their product strategy. Data-driven decision making (DDDM) is a trendy concept and, while it's appealing, the term is often misused and its limitations in innovative situations are rarely discussed. The justification for DDDM is often that it helps illuminate where our intuition would lead us in the wrong direction and, yes, intuition can be flawed, but so can data, especially when dealing with novel ideas. Gathering useful data about something nobody has experienced is challenging, at best. Sure, there are tools for predicting ...
