AI + HI = Transformation

Artificial intelligence is not going to change the world.  It will be artificial intelligence combined with human intelligence that will enable change.

AI + HI = Transformation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) plus Human Intelligence (HI) will cause a transformation.  The Harvard Business Review article Digital Transformation Is About Talent, Not Technology, by Becky Frankiewicz and Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic, has it right.  The summary of the article says:

Contrary to popular belief, digital transformation is less about technology, and more about people. You can pretty much buy any technology, but your ability to adapt to an even more digital future depends on developing the next generation of skills, closing the gap between talent supply and demand, and future-proofing your own and others’ potential. It’s really quite simple: the most brilliant innovation is irrelevant if we are not skilled enough to use it; and even the most impressive human minds will become less useful if they don’t team up with technology. The main implication is that when leaders think about investing in technology, they should first think about investing in the people who can make that technology useful.

You need to get the right people on the bus, then you need to get them seated in the right seats, and only then should you start driving that bus in one direction or another.  The steps need to be in that order.

Today, most accountants currently have their heads burred in the sand.  Not a problem; having a strategy of being reactive is fine.  Being proactive is a different strategy.  By default, if you are not doing something...you get a be reactive strategy.

As ice hockey star Wayne Gretzky famously said, “I skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been.”  Do you know where the puck is going?  What I say is that the best way to predict the future is to create that future.  One needs to figure out where that puck is headed.


ChatGPT is all the rage these days. Well, here is how fast things are moving.  Myaskai.com provides a service where in a few minutes you can make available your own customized ChatGPT. I took the time to create my own ChatGPT, Charlie's ASK.  Why? To help me figure out which direction the puck is moving.  What are you doing to figure out where that puck is going???

Experimentation with AI by an amateur that doesn't have skills or experience in an area of knowledge, particularly of the subtleties and nuances of that area of knowledge, will be unfulfilling.  Skilled professionals need to be experimenting with AI in some area of knowledge like financial accounting, reporting, auditing, or analysis.  Experimentation by those with experience and skill will effect a transformation.

Relational Knowledge Graph System (RKGS)

Relational Knowledge Graph System (RKGS) is an interesting idea that combines the relational paradigm and the knowledge graph paradigm.  This documentation, Why RKGS , explains the idea. This gets even more interesting with the notion of "relational AI".  RelationalAI is described as follows by the company of the same name, Relational.ai : “RelationalAI is a cloud-based relational knowledge graph management system, with state of the art probabilistic processing and declarative reasoning at scale to make developing Data Applications a superpower for your business.” This notion of knowledge graphs represented in relational databases fits into my belief that knowledge graphs have two aspects: the expression SYNTAX and the logic of what is expressed or SEMANTICS. While the LOGIC of a knowledge graph is always the same regardless of technical syntax used to express that logic; there are many, many different technical syntaxes that can be used to represent a knowledge graph. There

Graph Hairball

Image
Knowledge graph system logic, the "things" and "relations between things" that  graph theory calls "vertices" (a.k.a. nodes, points, entities, things) and "edges" (a.k.a.  links, lines, relations, associations), looks like a big graph hairball as some people call it an example of which you can see here: Why?  This common view of a graph is because there has to be some "general view" of the information provided by the graph.  This is just like a general view of the information within a relational database is a table ; a set of ROWS and COLUMNS for exactly one table at a time. So what is interesting is that with a graph database the default view is everything in the graph of knowledge.  Whereas the default view of everything in a relational database is one table at a time. Further, it does not really matter whether the information that populates your knowledge graph comes from, say, CSV files, Excel, JSON, XBRL, RDF, PROLOG or whateve

PLATINUM Business Use Cases, Test Cases, Conformance Suite

A brick wall is made of exactly two things: bricks, mortar. But a brick wall created by a master craftsman, or mason, and a brick wall created by a “weekend warrior” with no knowledge of masonry will be very different. Master craftsmen are created and that process takes time and effort. This blog post is a first prototype that brings several things together into one useful resource for business professionals.  It pulls together the human readable information of the Showcase of Reports   and the machine readable information of the Conformance Suite of XBRL-based Financial Reports Prepared using the Seattle Method .  Then, I want to incorporate the information found in these PLATINUM XBRL-based Financial Report Examples . The three resources can be useful and used independently; but they are even more useful when used together.  Business professionals really could not care a less about the technical details of getting some result that they want.  But technical professionals need to under
