AI - The only thing to fear is inaction
Nate Buchanan Director, Pathfindr
Why you shouldn't be afraid to take a stab at AI in your business
Automating assessments with AI
Dawid Naude, Director, Pathfindr
Checking, marking, critiquing, assessing, scoring We recently reflected on a common theme we’re noticing in the work we’re delivering. The projects had different names like “accreditation certifier”, “clause validator” or “skilled migrant assessment”, but they were all doing the same thing, assessing something. What we also realised is that AI is often great at a first draft, or a last pass. In this case, an initial assessment.

Previously, we talked about different ways to calculate value from AI implementation. We focused on the different types of value, where it could be found across an organization and the things to keep in mind when you’re trying to track it. What we DIDN’T focus on was the other side of the discussion.
10 boring problems that AI solves
Dawid Naude, Director, Pathfindr
Whilst we talk about ethics, avatars, deep fakes and other magical technology, the reality is that for most businesses, the value in AI will come from solving very boring problems. The average desk worker has a lot of boring tasks. There’s a substantial amount of download, copy, paste, save-as, etc. There’s a lot of responding to messages that could be found on the website. There’s a lot of vlookups and pivottables, meeting minutes and deal updates. We love solving boring problems, and get less excited about deep fakes and avatars.

Nate Buchanan Director, Pathfindr
