Despite all the advances organizations have made with respect to analytics, our most recent research shows the majority of the workforce in the majority of organizations are not using analytics and business intelligence (BI). Less than one-quarter (23%) report that one-half or more of their workforce is using analytics and BI. This is a problem. It means organizations are not enabling their workforce to perform at peak efficiency and effectiveness.

I haven’t written much about AI recently. But a recent discussion of Google’s new Large Language Models (LLMs), and its claim that one of these models (named Gopher) has demonstrated reading comprehension approaching human performance , has spurred some thoughts about comprehension, ambiguity, intelligence, and will. (It’s well worth reading Do Large Models Understand Us , a more comprehensive paper by Blaise Agüera y Arcas that is heading in the same direction.).
