I wrote previously about the emergence of applied, agile, assured AI. This post is a deeper dive, explaining the diagram, below, in more detail: Over the years, computer science has evolved through four eras,...
Please take a careful look at the above diagram (it is a simple Causal Decision Diagram (CDD), as described in Link). It is, by my understanding, one of the most important patterns we face...
As shown in the figure above, and as I have written about previously, AI is entering the mainstream, analogous to software engineering of a couple of decades ago. The challenges associated with successful AI/ML...

Conquering the most important problems faced by complex organizations often requires great models, not “big data”: in many situations, better decisions can be made with imperfect or incomplete data. As storage and processing costs...
Back in the day when coding was new, as soon as software team was hired for a project, management would command: “code”. No design, no planning, no requirements, no oversight, nor QA. After too...
I and my teams have been delivering machine learning projects for about three decades, from work on the Human Genome Project in the 1980s through sensor fusion for the Department of Energy for hazardous...
Organizations like the Millennium Project, certain government agencies, companies from the smallest to large transnationals, and the United Nations have recognized that, in a complex world, the risk of decisions that lead to unintended...
One of the first questions that occurred to me during my summer internship this year was “what is Decision Intelligence”? And is it really so different than AI? As part of my blog series,...
Gandhi predicted that both capitalism and communism would eventually fail.[1] He proposed a third system, called trusteeship,[2] which held tremendous promise. Yet today’s world is much more complex than the one that Gandhi inhabited, and so we...
