The AI Forecast: Data and AI in the Cloud Era AI Means Nothing If You Don’t Know Why You’re Using It with Cassie Kozyrkov
In the race of not being left behind in adopting new technology—like AI—enterprises often overlook the most straightforward, strategic question: what decision are we trying to make? Cassie Kozyrkov, first and former Chief Decision Scientist at Google and founder of Kozyr, joins The AI Forecast to reframe the conversation. Her take? It’s not about the genie granting the wish—in this case, AI; it’s about the wisher.
Cassie and host Paul Muller unpack why decision-making is the real competitive edge in enterprise AI. They explore what human tendencies shape our use of AI, the cognitive costs of over-automation, the fallacy of the “unicorn” hire, and why clarity of intent is the most underrated skill in the age of generative and agentic tools.
Tune in as they explore why decision intelligence is essential and how it can reshape enterprises’ perception of AI from a prediction engine to a strategic partner that only delivers value if you know what to ask.
