Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent

While books are published about what AI can do for a company, there are no books about what artificial intelligence may do to a company.

Industry 4.0 is the first industrial revolution led by a technology thought capable of human consciousness and existential challenge. We are in the stage of predicting lofty accomplishments for artificial intelligence and deep fears for Earth’s society and structure. Beyond the trope of employee communication, no one seems to be thinking about how all this is going to work in company life. While some predict growth in AI-related investment to $100 billion a year in 2024, over 50 percent of companies are delaying and even canceling AI initiatives. Paradox.

Academician, public company Vice Chairman, and information technology CEO Ian Domowitz asks three questions. How does a company

successfully integrate artificial intelligence into its operations and what are the problems in doing so? And how does the introduction of AI into society change the answer to the first question?

His thesis is this: AI is the introduction of a stream of change factors into a company’s social system, which does not recognize social imperatives of company functions. The result is failure with respect to adoption. Inability to recognize AI as techne , a technology bundle capable of generating emotion, is a serious error. AI must subscribe to four functional imperatives of society, Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, and Latent Pattern Maintenance. These sociological constructs are the basis of the Laws that constitute a survival guide for the practical application of artificial intelligence.

The Four Laws describes guidelines for the successful integration of AI within a firm and into our larger society, with a focus on helping organizations make AI work in the face of fear of negative public perception and emerging risks.

Four Laws for the Artificially Intelligent redefines what is possible and offers the thought leadership organizations need to turn their AI visions and strategies into reality.
