Challenge May-2023 “Next Best Action”

Posted on April 22, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

“Next best action” is a popular decision-making strategy. But how to define the “best” next action? This challenge may demonstrate it. Consider an NxN grid of lightbulbs. We are given an initial state where some of the bulbs are off and some are on. Then, at every step you need to choose a bulb in the off state. It will turned on, and every other bulb in the row and in the column of the bulb will be toggled: If it was on, it turns off, and vice versa. The goal is to reach a grid where all the light bulbs are on. Link

Defamed by ChatGPT

Posted on April 11, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Benedict Evans wrote: “If you ask ChatGPT factual questions, you can’t trust what you get. In this case, it invented an entirely non-existent sexual assault allegation against a law professor, complete with (non-existent) Washington Post story. Also of note – the professor, since he’s apparently a somewhat controversial figure, assumes that this must be something to do with his politics. Since all LLMs do this all the time about anyone and anything, there’s no reason to think he’s right, but this is a good illustration of just how hard it is for normal people outside tech (or even inside) to grasp what these systems are doing. They are not answering questions – they’re making something that looks like an answer to questions that look like your question. But, can you stop them from libelling people?” Link

Is term “BPM” outdated?

Posted on April 3, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Sandy Kemsley: BPM “vendors have distanced themselves from the BPM (business process management) moniker, in part because what the platforms do is more than just process management, and in part because BPM is starting to be considered an outdated term. We’ve seen the analysts struggle with naming the space, or even defining it in the same way, with terms like “digital process automation”, “hyperautomation” and “digitalization” being bandied about.”

A new interface?

Posted on February 14, 2023 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Prof. Toby Walsh shared “Bard, Bing and Baidu: how big tech’s AI race will transform search – and all of computing”: “When Microsoft launched Windows, it was the start of a revolution. Rather than typing cryptic instructions, we could just point and click on a screen. That revolution continued with the launch of Apple’s iPhone – an interface that shrunk computers and the web into the palm of our hand. Perhaps the biggest impact from AI-driven search tools will be on how we interact with the myriad ever-smarter devices in our lives. We will stop pointing, clicking and touching, and will instead start having entire conversations with our devices. We can only speculate on what this might mean in the longer term. But, for better or worse, how we interact with computers is about to change.” Link
