In 2020, humanity faced one of its greatest challenges: a pandemic that took us by surprise and plunged the world into unprecedented uncertainty. Overnight, physical interaction came to a halt, and technology became our primary means of connection. From children to seniors, everyone had to adapt to new ways of working, learning, and socializing in digital environments.
This accelerated shift unknowingly prepared us for what was to come. In 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, making generative artificial intelligence based on neural networks accessible to everyone. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The pandemic not only familiarized us with technology but also reduced resistance to change, making the adoption of new tools faster and more natural.
The Limited Perception of AI
Today, when people talk about artificial intelligence, most think only of tools like ChatGPT, DALL·E, or Midjourney. If you ask someone outside the tech world what AI is, they will probably say: "a website where you type something, and it generates a result (text, image, video, code, etc.)."
But AI is much more than that. Its true power lies in its ability to analyze data, optimize processes, and make decisions based on predictive models. With AI, we can:
Optimize transportation routes to reduce costs and time.
Predict equipment failures through preventive maintenance.
Analyze financial markets and anticipate economic trends.
Personalize digital experiences to enhance user interaction.
The problem is that many companies are adopting AI without a clear strategy. CEOs and business leaders invest in training sessions on how to write prompts instead of focusing on how AI can solve real problems in their organization.
The Uncontrolled Adoption of AI
The rush to integrate AI into every sector has led to disorganized adoption. Companies of all sizes attempt to implement it without a deep understanding of its applications, leading to unrealistic expectations and, in many cases, wasted resources.
But there is a better way to do it. Instead of following trends blindly, organizations should pause and ask themselves:
What specific problems do we want to solve with AI? How can we
leverage the data we already have to improve processes? What type of AI is best suited for our business—predictive, generative, or analytical?
The companies and societies that take this strategic pause will be the ones leading the new digital era. AI is not just about writing prompts to generate content—it is a powerful tool that, when applied with the right methodology, can transform industries and improve our quality of life.
