We are so obsessed with seeing if AI can do the things we do, but the real potential is things humans are in capable of. What can’t you do that is now possible? 
When making internal decisions about e.g. salary bands, individual exceptions to formal policy, etc, ask each other … if this decision were to leak, could we justify our reasoning with head held high?
