    > I’m going to make a prediction of my own… In the future we will see more and more companies proudly boasting their “NO-AI” policy as a competitive advantage. And they will be right

    I'm going to make my own prediction: this isn't going to happen

      Luddites have existed since the dawn of times:

        "We're not going to use tractors to plow the fields"
  "We're not going to use trucks to deliver our produce"
  "We're not going to use planes to meet with our global partners"
  "We're not going to use computers to run our business"
  "We're not going to open a web shop, brick and mortar forever"
  "We're not going to use AI to make decisions for us"

        this has some pretty extreme selection bias though. You could just as easily say

        "We're not going to wear Google Glass"

        "We're not going to use Blockchain for every single transaction"

        "We're not going to connect every single object and device we have to IoT"

          It's the same vibe as "They called <insert genius> crazy for his ideas!"

          Yes, the also called lots of actual crazy people crazy. In fact the probability of actually being crazy, given people are calling you crazy, is very high.
