Big Projects Fail Big: What about AI?

Big Projects Fail Big: What about AI?

Author: Dr Darryl September 24, 2024 Duration: 10:34
Welcome to my latest podcast – Big Projects Fail Big. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of mega-projects - those ambitious, complex, and often controversial undertakings that promise to reshape our world. From high-speed rail networks to Olympic venues, these grand visions capture our imagination but all too often end up as cautionary tales. In particular, I will focus on why these same characteristics apply to AI Projects. Drawing on the groundbreaking research of Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, we'll explore why these projects so frequently go off the rails, blowing past budgets and deadlines with alarming regularity. Get ready to uncover the cognitive biases, political pressures, and inherent complexities that turn dream projects into potential nightmares. Whether you're a project manager, policy maker, or just fascinated by how big things get built (or don't), this episode will change how you think about ambition, risk, and the delicate art of turning visionary ideas into reality.  AI GOVERNANCE PODCASTPODBEAN: https://doctordarryl.podbean.com APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/ai-governance-with-dr-darryl/id1769512868 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/4xZVOppbQJccsqWDif0x1m?si=3830777ccb7344a8   AI Governance - https://amzn.asia/d/07DeET2vCybersecurity Governance - https://amzn.asia/d/0edKXaavAI Digest Volume 1 - https://amzn.asia/d/0ekqTUH0AI Digest Volume 2 - https://amzn.asia/d/06syVuaJ #AIinEducation #EdTech #HigherEdAI #AIGovernance #ResponsibleAI #AICompliance #EthicalAI #AIPolicy #cybersecurity #cyberleadership #riskmanagement #dataprotection #cyberstrategy

Every week on AI Governance with Dr Darryl, we move beyond the hype and fear to tackle the practical, urgent questions surrounding artificial intelligence. Dr Darryl guides conversations that sit at the unique intersection of boardroom strategy and technological reality, focusing on who gets to steer these powerful systems and how. You’ll hear in-depth discussions that dissect proposed policy frameworks, examine real-world ethical quandaries faced by developers and corporations, and consider the intricate dance of international cooperation required to set effective guardrails. This isn't a theoretical exercise; it's about the concrete decisions being made today that will define our collective tomorrow. The podcast delves into how businesses can innovate responsibly, what meaningful accountability looks like, and whether we can architect a future where AI’s benefits are distributed equitably. Tune in for a clear-eyed, nuanced exploration of the governance structures we must build to ensure technology ultimately serves humanity, rather than the other way around.
