Historical perspectives, such as the 1980s concept of "softer software" from Bill Gates and Charles Simonyi, are revisited to argue that AI should serve as adaptive partners rather than oracles. The content emphasizes incremental, user-centered engineering over marketing hype, focusing on practical evaluation of AI copilots and personalization in enterprise settings.
Every organisation that rushed to deploy meeting transcriptions, copilots, and automated workflows now faces the same uncomfortable question: are those tools actually improving judgment and outcomes, or just generating more artifacts to measure activity with?
