The most valuable decisions happen beyond logic.
Beyond logic means: the spreadsheet is accurate, but incomplete.
This is what Tim Cook described in a conversation at Duke University in 2013.
It was Intuition that led him to work for Apple, not logic.
For him, at that time, Compaq was the superior, most rational choice.
But that choice was based on a rational, static model of the present; which is a snapshot of today plus the accumulation of historical data points.
The superior choice was what logic did not agree with: joining Apple.
This is what he felt as intuitive truth, he was knowing what will become possible.
AI is today the plus and minus list Tim Cook worked on. Data backed analysis and logic work when variables are known and the future will resemble the past.
This is the strength of AI.
The truly important and world changing decisions are not that. These decisions happen BEYOND LOGIC; usually in situations that are genuinely novel with a future that is nonlinear and unpredictable.
Tim Cook repeatedly tried to make the analytical pro and contra list work in his favor, to tell him what he already KNEW. But he could not.
The individuals who will OVERGO unquestionable data-backed logical recommendations of AI systems in favor of what seemingly makes no sense at that time, will win.
Only humans can sense the emerging reality, AI systems will never be able to.
