Can AI solve your problem?
Daniel Bakkelund suggests three heuristics to evaluate AI project viability: First, ensure you can clearly articulate the problem in writing. Second, ascertain if an informed human could theoretically solve the problem, given unlimited resources and time. Third, confirm that all necessary context for the AI to learn and give answers is available. If all conditions…
