AI: Artificial but not so Intelligent - The Limits of Current AI Systems
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides, captivating our imagination and transforming various aspects of our lives. From virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles, AI seems to be everywhere. However, despite its impressive capabilities in data processing and pattern recognition, current AI systems fall short of true intelligence. In this post, we’ll explore why AI, at the moment, cannot truly think and remains more of a sophisticated pattern recognition tool than a sentient being.

The AI Anthropologist 1: Understanding Workplace Dynamics
In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of our lives, the workplace stands as one of the most promising yet under explored frontiers for AI applications. While AI has made significant strides in automating tasks, enhancing productivity, and streamlining operations, its potential to understand and improve human dynamics within organizations is just beginning to be realized. This series introduces the concept of the AI Anthropologist—an innovative application of AI that could revolutionize our understanding of workplace culture, communication patterns, and social dynamics.

Navigating the Use of AI Tools in Daily Work
Imagine walking into your office to find a new colleague at the desk next to yours. This coworker never sleeps, can process vast amounts of information in seconds, and seems to have an answer for everything. Sounds like a dream team member, right? But what if this tireless worker also lacks the ability to read between the lines, misses cultural nuances, and can’t brainstorm truly novel ideas?

Critically Evaluating AI-Generated Content in Software Development
As AI tools become increasingly sophisticated, they offer developers new ways to streamline workflows and generate content. However, the true value of these tools lies not in their outputs alone, but in how we critically evaluate and refine those outputs. This is especially crucial when using AI to generate user stories and other project documentation. In this post, we’ll explore essential critical thinking skills and practical steps for evaluating AI-generated content, ensuring it aligns with project requirements and serves as a catalyst for deeper team discussions.

AI-Powered Knowledge Management: Revolutionizing Agile Teams
Imagine this scenario: You’re deep into an Agile project, racing towards your next milestone. Amidst the flurry of sticky notes, stand-up meetings , and code reviews, a crucial question arises: “Didn’t we tackle a similar challenge last month?” The memory of a discussion lingers, but the specifics are hazy, and documentation is nowhere to be found. This situation is common in many Agile teams.

Writing User Stories With AI 3: Beyond User Stories
As we continue to integrate AI into the process of software development, it’s essential to look beyond just writing user stories. While user stories are fundamental in defining the “what” of a project, there are tools and techniques that can greatly enhance our understanding of the “how.” This post will explore how Gherkin , sequence diagrams, and Mermaid notation can be used in conjunction with AI to bring greater clarity to functional requirements and streamline the process of automated testing. By leveraging these tools, we can create a more comprehensive and actionable set of specifications that bridge the gap between high-level user stories and detailed technical implementations. This approach not only enhances communication between stakeholders but also paves the way for more efficient development and testing processes.

Using ChatGPT as a Panel of Experts for Problem-Solving
The rapid advancement of AI-assisted decision-making tools has opened up new possibilities for problem-solving and analysis. Among these innovations, one method that stands out is the creation of a virtual Panel of Experts using ChatGPT. This approach goes beyond simply seeking quick answers; it aims to replicate the depth and nuance of collaborative thinking found in real-world expert panels.
At its core, this method leverages a multi-round structure to dive deep into complex issues. By guiding ChatGPT through several focused rounds of discussion, we can simulate the kind of comprehensive, iterative dialogue that typically occurs among human experts. The result? Well-rounded, actionable insights that can shed new light on challenging problems.
