   Daily Inspiration: "Vision matters more than insight!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   For some reason, the opening backdrop image for my keynote a few weeks ago for a few thousand cattle ranchers in Orlando featured some cattle being beamed up into the belly of a UFO. I'm not sure why, but heck, I'm good with it!

   On with the post - and my key point is this:

   ---> Vision matters more than insight - Particularly when it comes to AI.

   In this case, I'm telling two stories.

   First, when it comes to the future, the ability to understand and track the trends - the insight - is critical. But if you don't know how to turn that insight into an actionable vision for the future, then you are truly missing the opportunity that the future can bring you. That's my first key point - and that's why vision matters more than insight.

   But there's a second element to this story, and that is, when it comes to AI, you should realize that it is so much more than the insight that you might get via a tool like ChatGPT. That's because even bigger real opportunities are emerging with things such as machine vision and other aspects of AI. And so - vision matters more than insight.
   Most people don't realize how significant the machine vision aspect of AI truly is - and the fact that it has already been with us for quite some time. It's a rather mature technology - although still advancing by leaps and bounds making its impact even more significant. In fact - the applications in use are already quite prevalent.

   In the field of logistics and warehousing, machine vision is being used to identify hazards in warehouses and logistics facilities to minimize risks and prevent accidents. In manufacturing, machine vision cameras are used extensively for defect detection, contaminant identification, and checking for functional flaws in manufacturing processes.

   The list goes on - so while everyone is focused on LLM's and ChatGPT, they aren't seeing the bigger picture!
