Fascinating news about how an AI developed by Google solved a scientific problem that had taken a leading research lab more than 10 years to solve… Arguably, solving business problems is easier than solving scientific problems (though Turing and Shannon debated exactly this 80+ years ago at the AT&T cafeteria—but that’s for another story). If so, this news suggests we may soon see AI generating business ideas comparable to today’s leading founders and managers. This doesn’t mean AI will replace strategists—more likely, it will augment them.
