Earning Judgment
TLDR
The article argues that human judgment in identifying problems, evaluating machine solutions, and extending beyond what machines accomplish will remain valuable as AI agents become more prevalent. It emphasizes that taste and judgment are inherently difficult to systematize and scale, unlike machine capabilities. Organizations should deliberately cultivate these human skills as a lasting competitive advantage in an AI-augmented world.
Why it matters
The world is short on people who can find the right problem, tell whether the machine solved it, and finish past where the machine stopped. Seek taste and judgment on purpose, as they will stay durable and ungradable while agents scale infinitely.
