Pragmatic review
The authors examine how AI’s prediction capabilities interact with judgement, workflow and organisational design. For executives, the useful shift is from buying a tool to mapping the decisions surrounding it. Identify where uncertainty currently forces a workaround, then ask what complementary changes would be necessary if prediction improved.

One practical next step
Map one prediction, the judgement it informs and the three process changes needed to use it responsibly.
