Issue 1: AI that hands back something you own

The weekend the AI industry asked to be slowed down, and the four questions it leaves on your desk. Two short updates from testing, AI and data. And MaxTAF 2.8.0 in brief.

Welcome to the first issue. One a month, three or four pieces, each with its point in the first two lines. The writing lives here on the site, so the email that brings it to you stays short.

One thread runs through this month's three pieces. In each of them the useful part is not the intelligence, it is what is left behind once the intelligence has finished: an approval a person still gives, an artefact a normal team can read and edit, a test case that runs every night without any AI in it at all. What the technology can do changed. Who has to sign it off did not.

02 THE ASK

Which Maximo version are you on, and what would you want an AI to test or answer for you first?
