When Not to Use AI

The most valuable AI decision is often not to use it.

The decision you're making

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.

How the lab runs

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.

What you leave with

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 it's for

Who should be in the room

Executives, risk owners and decision-makers under pressure to adopt AI everywhere.
