Generative AI has been hyped so much over the past two years that observers see an inevitable course correction ahead — one that should prompt CIOs to rethink their gen AI strategies. But while whispers of a gen AI bubble grow louder, a full burst may not be in the offing, as many AI experts see investment continuing even after some IT leaders, among others, push back on the technology’s hype.

Don’t assume your team knows just because you told them Magical thinking means you assume your team knows what you know. For example, you might think that explaining a task once is enough and everyone will understand and execute it perfectly. Of course, your team might not get it. It’s your job to ensure expectations are clear. How Magical Thinking Leads to Workplace Conflict Think about any significant conflict you’ve been a part of.

I like hot sauces. My favourite is Ring of fire , a hot sauce that I first encountered in the US. It is a mix of habanero and serrano chillis, tomatoes, vinegar and spices. It is very tasty and (despite the name) not super hot. However, it has become increasingly difficult and expensive to get ‘Ring of fire’ in the UK. And most of the hot sauces available in UK shops are lacking in either flavour or heat, or often both.

Does pursuing a college education still make sense in the age of online learning and AI — when we have access to information for free via the internet? The problem with this question is that it frames college as an information gatekeeper, misunderstanding much of its value. For many, higher education institutions offer more than that: a transformative journey where students can network and develop transferable soft skills that require teamwork and repetition.

Previous research has found that new ideas are seen as risky and are often rejected. New research suggests that this rejection can be due to people’s lack of shared criteria or reference points when evaluating a potential innovation’s value. In a new paper, the authors find that the more novel the idea, the more people differ on their perception of its value.
