Does anyone else have mixed emotions about AI and machine learning?

Kiron,

I agree with your statement. I have been learning AI over the years, but I also have machine language in my background, PMP, 25 years as an Agile consultant, and even have some small businesses of my own. While AI looks impressive for those to watch, trying to monetize this is not something most will be able to do. By applying this for project management, there are uses, and future expectations. From my past working with Fortune 500 companies, and now mainly consulting, it is difficult for me to see how training can be possible. It will have benefits for the PM community. Trying to see how this could be entered into a training program would be difficult, by the time this can be instructional, the pace moves fast. Those without an understanding of machine language and then the variations of AI coming along, someone without a desire to learn this themselves, I have a difficult time seeing how this would be some formal training. But then, I didn't wait for some company to teach me to be a Microsoft Systems Engineer, 60 plus other certifications, security knowledge, that short of having a security clearance is possible. This goes above the cybersecurity level. Fortunate that in the US, it generally weeds out those that would later abuse what they learned about security for national defense. Lots of programs are sold to leaen AI with promises of big money. People need to realize chances of making money with that goes to those that know programming, but specifically with project management, there is good AI being buit into power BI, and other tools that can help with project management, that is without needing to also become knowledgeable about machine language generally. So while it is possible to learn the combination of machine language and ai and project management, factor in block chain technology, robotics, and people are looking at a steep learning curve. Focus on the AI that is already built into products from many firms. This will advance project management, but at present, this starts getting into the unknown, but process improvement is good, doing away with some of the old project management needs for someone to focus on triple constraints, etc. great, trying to develop something to teach others machine language and AI and into project management, that is something I started to learn years ago, and still spend hours each week just keeping up with this. I am advanced, but since I don't sell anything where I know the end user would benefit from this, I spare those that think this is something to learn in a course, or even a year.
