GenAI based Project Management

Dearest techseria,

Kind thanks for the humble opportunity to expound on your ideas. After reading what I consider as a seminal work in the field, Artificial Intelligence, by Charu C. Aggarwal (©2021ISBN 978-3-030-72356-9 Published: 17 July, 2021) and rolling around this work in my own experience as a project manager for a tier 2 IATF/TS16949 supplier, it would seem that your desire is to build a generative AI that will perform the duty of a program manager; a "set it and forget it" type of machine instance. While your ambitions are genuinely supporting the improvement of your organization, I must caution you to remember what gen AI is and what it may be limited in doing. Firstly, Gen AI has 0 ideal permanance, meaning that you could train 10 models on identical datasets and receive vastly differenty results each time. Secondly, an AI is only able to perform within the bound to which it is prescribed, meaning do not expect a Gen AI to ever take the initiative. Ever. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, remember your training from ISO/TS/SAE/JEDEC....What is THE most powerful and influential group in an organization? No, not C-Suite I am happy to say...It is the cross-functional core team. This is where the rubber meets the road, and the sausage is made. Imagine a core team meeting with a gen AI...that would be, intimidating and mildly infuriating, not to mention a likely violation of many Union practices.

I am not at all suggesting that gen AI is a poor PM. I am, however, of the line of thinking that perhaps it is too much too soon. I believe that there needs to be pause and serious cross-organizational discussion, vertically as well as horizontally, regarding the benefit of replacing a role with gen AI. It is a wonderful gift that mankind has bestowed upon ourselves; our responibility to future generations is to be exceedingly judicious in the usage thereof.
