The AI revolution is being sold as a miracle cure, but the hidden truth is most companies are using the wrong tool for the job. In this powerful episode of Optimized for Humans, Armando E Viteri, Founder and CEO of New Block, exposes the broken system behind AI hype, the dangerous obsession with foundation models, and the uncomfortable reality that bad consulting advice is driving enterprise AI failure.
With a background in computer science and electrical engineering from MIT and decades of experience across multiple AI waves, Armando is not buying into the buzzwords. He breaks down why large language models are not a universal solution, why AI transformation is fundamentally a human problem not a technology problem, and how intellectual laziness is costing companies millions.
