When Not to Use AI
The most valuable AI decision is often not to use it.
Is this a case where AI is the wrong tool?
Pressure to 'do something with AI' produces expensive mistakes. This lab pressure-tests tempting use cases and makes the deliberate, defensible decision not to adopt.
A decision, not a lecture
A short, intensive session built on the ADAAS decision method — scenario, choice, consequence, debrief, artifact. You don't listen to a talk; you make the call under realistic constraints and defend it.
- Pressure-test the tempting use case
- Surface hidden failure, accountability and explainability costs
- Compare against a human-owned or conventional approach
- Choose — and document — the deliberate no
A decision, a rationale, an artifact
You leave with a documented non-adoption rationale: a defensible record of why not, and what would change the answer.
Every ADAAS session ends the same way: a decision, the rationale behind it, and an artifact your organisation can act on and defend.
Who should be in the room
Executives, risk owners and decision-makers under pressure to adopt AI everywhere.
