𝐓𝐡𝐞 "𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭" 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚: 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧, 𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬? Hey innovators, it's Monday! Time to... fail? 🤔 "𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫" – it's practically scripture in startup land. And learning from mistakes is VITAL. But are we sometimes taking it too far? Has "failing fast" become a subtle excuse for launching half-baked ideas, skipping due diligence, or not thinking through the consequences? Is there a difference between a calculated experiment designed for learning, and just throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something sticks, all under the banner of "failing fast"? (Read my previous post on #HappinessProjects, link in comment below) What about the team morale, wasted resources, or reputational hits from too much failing, however fast? AI Mentor Bit: AI can actually help us "test smarter, fail less catastrophically." With simulation, predictive analytics, and rapid prototyping tools, we can de-risk ideas before a full-blown public "failure." Maybe the mantra should be "𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭, 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫."

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬! 🎉 Remember when we thought a fancy #chatbot was the peak of AI assistance? Cute, right? Now, the conversation has officially leveled up to #𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐀𝐈 – and it's less "how can I help you?" and more "I've already handled it. You're welcome." These are AI systems that go beyond prompts, define their own sub-goals, find the necessary tools, and execute complex workflows autonomously. It's like the difference between asking your smart speaker for the weather and it proactively adjusting your thermostat, ordering a new umbrella, and rescheduling your outdoor plans because it saw a storm coming. It's a game-changer, undoubtedly. But let's be honest, there's a tiny voice in my head wondering: - Will I wake up one day to find my agentic AI has sold my old shares for me because it "identified an optimal exit strategy"? - Will my smart home AI start judging my snack choices? The future of work is looking less like "𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 + 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥" and more like "𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 + 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥-𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞." Embrace the autonomy, but maybe still keep an eye on your bank account.

Today, a new research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology echoes that concern. The study, "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓: 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐛𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤," provides undeniable evidence: 𝟏. 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤: AI use consistently leads to reduced brain connectivity in critical cognitive areas. 𝟐. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰: Reliance on AI hinders deep memory encoding and impacts perceived ownership of work, suggesting a "cognitive debt" where genuine learning is sidestepped. 𝟑. 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬: Participants showed less coordinated neural effort and narrowed ideation after AI exposure, impacting originality and critical depth. This isn't about discarding AI, but rather integrating it mindfully. We must create an environments that prioritize genuine cognitive engagement alongside AI's powerful assistance. Let's discuss how we can strike this crucial balance. #AI #GenerativeAI #CongnitiveAbility ##FutureofWork #Learning #Innovation #ThoughtLeadership #MIT #ChatGPT #Leadership #ResponsibleAI #Ethics #Business AiExponent Stanford University Graduate School of Business Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT Sloan School of Management Stanford LEAD Digital Data Design (D^3) Institute at Harvard G42 Andrew Jackson, PhD
