AI is very good at some tasks and poor at others. Used well, it gives people more time for judgment; used badly, it hides mistakes behind confident wording.
Where AI helps
- Reading large amounts of text quickly and pulling out names, dates, amounts and places.
- Sorting and grouping: which news items, laws or notices concern your product or route.
- Translating between languages so that foreign-language sources are not missed.
- Spotting changes: a page or a price that moved since last week.
- Drafting: a first version of a summary for a person to check.
Where people stay in charge
- Deciding what question matters for the business.
- Judging whether a source is reliable and whether a finding makes sense.
- Weighing risks against opportunities, and values against cost.
- Signing off. At AetherVett, a person reviews and approves every report (human in the loop), and every finding links to its source so it can be checked.
A simple test
If a decision would be embarrassing or costly to get wrong, a person should make it with the AI's work in front of them, not leave it to the AI.
