Strategic Alignment With AI and Smart KPIs

A new MIT/BCG study shows companies use AI to boost key performance indicators (KPIs) for strategic focus. This creates "smart KPIs" that help in decision-making and action plans. Companies like Schneider Electric and Sanofi have used these AI-driven KPIs to improve operations and meet goals. The study suggests investing in KPIs with AI, as they serve as a business GPS for strategy and opportunity.

Why Does This Matter?

KPIs are essential but often siloed tools for implementing strategic objectives. AI unlocks KPIs' potential for coordinating across functions and managing performance dynamically. As disruption accelerates, sharper measurement and agility are imperative.

Scientists grapple with risk of artificial intelligence-created pandemics

AI advances alarm scientists; they could enable non-experts to create deadly pathogens. Chatbots like GPT can guide virus synthesis, and specialized AI can help design bioweapons. While full-fledged bioterrorism may be years away, experts are concerned. They seek independent review of AI training data to reduce risks. Open science norms complicate control. The merge of fast-progressing AI and biosciences calls for urgent, cooperative action to avert disaster.

Why Does This Matter?

This issue is pivotal due to AI and biotech's dual potential for good and harm. Unchecked, they could enable pandemics on a COVID-19 scale. Global interest lies in prevention, requiring international and industry coordination. Balancing openness and caution in AI and biotech needs urgent public debate. Proper governance could make or break humanity's future. Cautious progress is the only prudent way forward.
