If you consider the progression of machine learning, its not a far stretch to envision the day when Computer Assisted Project Management evolves well beyond the simple scheduling, risk simulation, and information management capabilities we use today. I wrote an article about the potential benefits of CAPM a few weeks ago, but didn't tackle the issue of what happens if a PM choose to ignore the advice of the AI, and a project fails as a result. Regardless of how well informed the guidance, we can't compel the human being to act in a particular way. Do you envision this being treated as professional malpractice once the technology has proven itself a few years down the line? Or, put another way, how concerned are you about the potential changes or impacts to the role of the PM resulting from advances in machine learning?
