Why is AI so useless for business?

Because we have liability laws and there aren't too many areas of business where a significant rate of failure is acceptable.

"AI" is really just guess, a probability assessment. Would you want to fly on a plane where the autopilot failed to land 10% of the time?


In business you have to get it right close to 100% of the time. In AI research people often think it is groundbreaking when you get it right 40% of the time.
