How America's oligarchs lull us with the be-your-own-boss fairy tale

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/16/narrative-capitalism/#sell-job

Capitalism is a vibes-based system. Sure, we all know about Keynes's "Animal Spirits" that see "bulls" and "bears" vying to set the market's future, but beyond that, there's just a hell of a lot of narrative.

Writing for The American Prospect, Adam M Lowenstein reviews two books that tell the histories of the stories that are used to sell American capitalism to the American people – the stories that turn workers into "temporarily embarrassed millionaires":

https://prospect.org/culture/books/2024-02-16-stories-corporations-tell-williams-waterhouse-review/

The first of these books is Taming the Octopus: The Long Battle for the Soul of the Corporation, by Kyle Edward Williams, a kind of pre-history of "woke capitalism":

https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393867237

Taming is a history of the low-water marks for Big Business's reputation in America, and how each was overcome through PR campaigns that declared a turning point in which business leaders would pursue the common good, even at the expense of their shareholders' interests.

The story starts in the 1950s, when DuPont and other massive firms had gained a well-deserved reputation as rapacious profit-generation machines that "alienated workers and pushed around small businessmen, investors, and consumers." This prompted DuPont's PR chief, Harold Brayman, to write a memo called "The Attack on Bigness," where he set out a plan to sell America on a new cuddly image for corporate giants.

For Brayman, the problem was that corporate execs were too shy about telling their social inferiors about all the good that businesses did for them: "The businessman is normally reluctant to talk out loud. He frequently shuns the spotlight and is content with plugging his wares, not himself."

This was the starting gun for a charm offensive by American big business that included IBM president Thomas Watson Jr ("I think there is a world market for about five computers") going on a speaking tour organized by McKinsey & Co, where he told audiences that his company's billion dollar annual profits had convinced it to assume "responsibilities for the broader public welfare."

This set the template for a nationwide mania of "business statesmanship" that Fortune celebrated with an editorial announcing "a great transformation, of which the world as a whole is as yet unaware" that put the "profit motive…on its last leg."

Fortune then spent the next seventy years recycling this announcement, every time the tide went out on business's popularity. In 2019, Fortune platformed IBM president Ginni Rometty for an announcement that the company was orienting its priorities to the public good: "It’s a question of whether society trusts you or not. We need society to accept what it is that we do."

The occasion for Rometty's quote was a special package on the Trump tax-cuts, a trillion-dollar gift to American big business, which lobbyists for the Business Roundtable celebrated with an announcement that American capitalism would now serve "stakeholders" (not just shareholders). Fortune celebrated this "change" as "fundamental and profound."

Fast forward five years and corporate leaders are still telling stories, this time about "stakeholder capitalism" and "ESG" – the dread "woke capitalism" that has right-wing swivel-eyed loons running around, hair afire, declaring the end of capitalism.

For Williams and Lowenstein (and me), all this ESG, DEI, and responsible capitalism is just window dressing, a distraction to keep the pitchforks and torches in people's closets, and to keep the guillotines in their packaging. The right-wing is doing a mirror-world version of liberals who freak out when OpenAI claims to have built a machine that will pauperize every worker – assuming that a PR pitch is the gospel truth, and then repeating it in criticism. Criti-hype, in other words:

https://sts-news.medium.com/youre-doing-it-wrong-notes-on-criticism-and-technology-hype-18b08b4307e5

Think of ESG: the right is freaking out that ESG is harming shareholders by leaving hydrocarbons in the ground to appease climate-addled greenies. The reality is that ESG is barely disguised greenwashing, and it's fully compatible with burning every critter that died in the Mesozoic, Cenozoic, and lo, even the Paleozoic:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/03/15/sanctions-financing/#profiteers

The reason this tactic is so successful is that Americans have also been sold another narrative: that American problems are solved by American individuals as entrepreneurs and businesspeople, not as polities or as members of a union (let alone the working class!).

This is the subject of the second book Lowenstein reviews, One Day I’ll Work for Myself: The Dream and Delusion That Conquered America, by Benjamin Waterhouse:

https://wwnorton.com/books/one-day-ill-work-for-myself/

A keystone of American narrative capitalism is the idea that the USA is a nation of small businesspeople, Jeffersonian yeoman farmsteaders of the US economy. But even a cursory examination shows that the country is ruled – economically and politically – by very large firms.

Uber sells itself as a way to be your own boss ("No shifts. No boss. No limits.") – even though it's a system where the app is your boss, and thanks to that layer of misdirection, Uber gets to be the worst conceivable boss, while its workers have no recourse in labor law:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

In labor fights, Uber represents itself as the champion of innumerable "small businesspeople" who drive its unlicensed taxis. In consumer protection fights, Amazon claims to be fighting for "small businesspeople" who sell on its platform. In privacy fights, Facebook claims to represent "small businesspeople" who buy its surveillance advertising.

But large firms are actively hostile to small firms, seeing them as small-fry to be rooked or destroyed (recall that when Amazon targeted small publishers for bankruptcy-level discounts, they called the program "The Gazelle Project" and Bezos told his executives to tackle these firms "the way a cheetah pursues a sickly gazelle").

Decades of this tale have produced "a profound shift from a shared belief that individuals might come together to solve problems, into a collective faith in individual effort." America's long love-affair with rugged individualism was weaponized in the 1970s by corporations seeking to shed their regulatory obligation to workers, customers, and the environment.

As with Big Tech today, the big business lobby held up mom-and-pop businesses as the true beneficiaries of deregulation, even as they knifed these firms. A telling anecdote comes from someone who worked for the Chamber of Commerce's magazine Nation's Business: when this editor pointed out that many of the magazine's subscribers were small businesspeople and asked if they could start including articles relevant to mom-and-pops, the editor in chief said, "Over my dead body."

The neoliberal era has been an unbroken string of platitudes celebrating the small business and policies that annihilate their chances against large firms. Ronald Reagan's dewy-eyed hymns to American entrepreneurship sounded nice, but what matters is that he attempted to abolish the Small Business Administration and refused to address the 20,000 attendee "White House Conference on Small Business."

In the years since, American has sacrificed its small businesses while pulling out all the stops – bailouts and tax cuts and elite bankruptcy – to keep its largest firms growing. New regulations like Dodd-Frank were neutered in the name of saving mom-and-pop shops, even though the provisions that were cut already exempted small businesses.

Today, millions of Americans are treading water in a fetid stew of LLC-poisoning, rise-and-grind, multi-level-marketing, dropshipping and gig-work, convinced that the only way to get a better life is to pull themselves up by their bootstraps:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/10/declaration-of-interdependence/

Narrative does a lot of work here. The American economy runs on bubbles, another form of narrative capitalism. Take AI, a subject I sincerely wish I could stop hearing about, not least because I'm certain that 99% of that thinking is being wasted on whatever residue remains after the bubble pops:

https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/

AI isn't going to do your job, but its narrative may convince your boss to fire you and replace you with a bot that can't do your job. Like what happened when Air Canada hired a chatbot to answer customer inquiries and it started making shit up about bereavement discounts that the company later claimed it didn't have to honor:

https://bc.ctvnews.ca/air-canada-s-chatbot-gave-a-b-c-man-the-wrong-information-now-the-airline-has-to-pay-for-the-mistake-1.6769454

This story's been all over the news for the past couple of days, but so far as I've seen, no one has pointed out the seemingly obvious inference that this chatbot probably ripped off lots of people. The victim here was extraordinarily persistent, chasing a refund for 10 weeks and then going to the regulator. This guy is a six-sigma self-advocate – which implies a whole bell-curve's worth of comparatively normal people who just ate the shit-sandwich Air Canada fed them.

The reason AI is a winning proposition for Air Canada isn't that it can do a customer service rep's job – it can't. But the AI is a layer of indirection – like the app that is the true boss of Uber drivers – that lets Air Canada demoralize the customers it steals from into walking away from their losses.

Nevertheless, the narrative that AI Will Change Everything Forever is powerful – more powerful than AI itself, that's for sure. Take this Bloomberg headline: "Nearly all wealth gained by world's rich this year comes from AI":

https://www.business-standard.com/world-news/nearly-all-wealth-gained-by-world-s-rich-this-year-comes-from-ai-124021600006_1.html

Dig in and you find even more narrative. The single largest beneficiary of AI stock gains last year was Mark Zuckerberg ($161B!). Zuck is American Narrative Capitalism's greatest practitioner: the guy who made billions peddling a series of lies, from "pivot to video" to "metaverse," leaping from one lie to the next just ahead of the mass stock-selloffs that wiped out lesser predators.

The Narrative Capitalism Cinematic Universe has a lot of side-plots like AI and entrepreneurship and woke capitalism, but its main narrative arc was articulated, ad nauseum, by Margaret Thatcher: "There is no alternative." This is the most important part of the story, the part that says it literally can't be otherwise. The only way to organize society is through markets, and the only way to organize markets is to leave them alone, no matter how much suffering they cause.

This is a baffling story, because it's so easily disproved. Zuck says the only way to have friends is to let him surveil you from asshole to appetite, even though he once ran Facebook as the privacy-forward alternative to MySpace, and promised never to spy on you:

https://lawcat.berkeley.edu/record/1128876

Likewise, the business leaders – and their chorus of dutiful Renfields – who insist that monopoly is the natural and inevitable outcome of any market economy just handwave away the decades during which anti-monopoly enforcement actually kept most businesses from getting too big to fail and too big to jail.

I'm no champion of market efficiency – especially not as the best and final arbiter of social and economic questions – but when I hear my comrades repeating the Thatcherite claims that all forms of capitalism necessarily degrade into monopolistic quagmires, that there is no alternative, it sounds like more criti-hype.

This is a frequent point of departure during discussions of enshittification: some people dismiss the whole idea of enshittification as "just capitalism." But we had decades of digital services that either didn't degrade, or, when they did, were replaced by superior competitors with a minimum of switching costs for users who migrated from the decaying incumbent to greener pastures.

The reality is that while there are problems with all forms of capitalism, there are different kinds of capitalist problems, and some forms of capitalism are less harmful to working people and more capable of enacting and enforcing sound policy than others.

Enshittification is what happens when the constraints on the worst impulses of companies and their investors and managers are removed. When a company doesn't have competitors, when it can capture its regulators to trample our rights with impunity, when it can enlist those regulators to shut down would-be competitors who might free us from its "walled garden," and when it can fire any worker who refuses to enact harm upon the users they serve, then that company will enshittify:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/30/go-nuts-meine-kerle/#ich-bin-ein-bratapfel

A company can be made to treat you well, even if it is run by a wicked person who sees you as a mark to be fleeced – that mustache twirler just has to be constrained – by competition, regulation, self-help and labor. He may still hate you and wish you harm, but he won't be able to act on it.

As MLK said:

It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, religion and education will have to do that, but it can restrain him from lynching me. And I think that's pretty important also. And so that while legislation may not change the hearts of men, it does change the habits of men. And we see this every day.

[ad_1] Compared with those that depend on outdated strategies and legacy software program, firms that implement fashionable AI-based TMSs (Coaching Administration Techniques) will extra doubtless win the competitors for abilities and succeed out there. The KPMG report factors out that CEOs contemplate “expertise threat” as the principle burden for his or her companies. When firms lose precious abilities, they should make investments some huge cash in changing them, which incorporates bills for recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and so forth. AI-powered expertise administration software program affords predictive analytics instruments that help L&D leaders and enterprise house owners in figuring out points earlier than they influence firm efficiency. IBM CEO Ginni Rometty acknowledged that IBM AI predicts with 95% accuracy when sure workers are more likely to go away their present positions. This data has helped to save lots of the corporate practically $300 million of its retention price range. In keeping with Personnel At present, 38% of companies have already applied Synthetic Intelligence into their workplaces, and 62% of respondents intend to start utilizing AI the next yr. Gartner’s Synthetic Intelligence Survey revealed that 17% of firms used AI-powered expertise administration techniques (TMS) in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic doubtless gave a booster shot to AI implementation for a lot of of those organizations. In keeping with McKinsey analysis, greater than two-thirds of companies (69%) see worth in Synthetic Intelligence for his or her Human Sources departments. These information and circumstances present us that utilizing AI within the Expertise Administration technique can provide varied organizations a robust aggressive benefit. So, how is Synthetic Intelligence ready to deal with the expertise threat within the firm? Choice 1: AI Enhances Inner Profession Alternatives In keeping with Forbes, changing a precious worker may cost a little an organization as much as 150% of that worker’s annual wage and advantages package deal. These days, essentially the most well-known firms like IBM, Hilton, and Unilever are leveraging the potential of AI to spice up inside expertise mobility. They make the most of AI not solely to chop prices for the recruitment course of but in addition to uncover inside experience. Excessive-performing individuals are usually glad to handle difficult duties, open new areas, and are wanting to work with varied groups and initiatives. Nonetheless, essentially the most expert personnel usually grow to be unnoticed throughout the group. Organizations require a contemporary system that may persistently: Monitor and establish workers’ abilities. Place them in appropriate positions. Give the interior candidates the chance to know learn how to improve their abilities and apply for a brand new in-house place. Above two-thirds of workers have acknowledged that they carry out higher after they get immediate suggestions from their managers about what to appropriate or scale. Analysis reveals that 96% of respondents wish to obtain common suggestions about their efficiency. Nonetheless, practically 70% of firms nonetheless conduct only one or 2 efficiency opinions per yr. In keeping with the survey, the staff wish to handle points and get suggestions in real-time. When managers have an correct understanding of workers’ abilities and competencies, they're able to function extra successfully. With an AI-powered evaluation system, division executives can exactly decide the workforce sources they will depend on within the group these days and down the highway. Think about having a expertise pool the place AI-generated grids assist you to assess all candidates, choose the perfect match, and design coaching packages for the remaining workers. On the similar time, you'll be able to recommend customized suggestions to every employee utilizing this precious information. In keeping with the Recruiter Nation

Survey findings, 67% of recruiters have reported they confronted a restricted pool of exterior high-qualified and seasoned abilities for his or her organizations. AI-powered abilities matching instruments can scale back turnover. As an alternative of in search of new alternatives exterior the group, workers can merely add their CVs to the portal and consider a listing of open positions throughout the firm. An worker doesn’t waste time on lengthy analysis and might apply for the place with one click on. An AI algorithm then analyzes an worker’s profile to match their competencies with inside positions. It then generates a ranked record that recruiters or managers can use for expertise transitions between groups, departments, and even representatives throughout the company. In keeping with the McKinsey International report, 90% of 10 C-level managers see now or doubtless anticipate talent gaps of their workforce over the following 5 years. Surprisingly, greater than half of them will not be positive learn how to handle this problem. Many workers have a tendency simply to vary employers after they really feel a scarcity of alternatives to develop throughout their profession path throughout the present firm. Leveraging an AI-powered platform can help workers in upskilling or reskilling to advance with out quitting their group. With AI instruments, the personnel turns into in a position to simply outline which roles align with their present exhausting and gentle abilities. Furthermore, they will get notified about desired in-house positions and get a customized plan for upskilling or reskilling if they aren't prepared for this job but. With AI algorithms, HR executives extract insights that assist them perceive: Which workforce competencies aligned with the present enterprise technique of their firm? Which gaps are vital for the enterprise in its present situation? Which gaps do they should fill in shortly, within the medium and the long run, particularly in fast-paced areas? Every worker has their private profile on the company portal built-in with an LXP or LMS. They'll overview their present place and estimated degree, for instance, a Enterprise Analyst. Think about this skilled determined to change their profession path by buying new competencies of a Mission Supervisor. The system will present them with the brand new necessities for this reskilling. Furthermore, it is going to spotlight the phrases wanted for every level of upgrading. So, an worker will get a tailor-made program to fulfill their profession ambitions. An L&D division is ready to automate this course of at every stage. As an example, if a consumer accomplishes 80-90% of progress, the system will unblock the following degree. Nonetheless, if the system detects a protracted pause in coaching or outcomes decrease the minimal grade, the learner might be routinely notified of which supplies to revise.   [ad_2] Supply hyperlink

AI in Information Technology: Performing, Transforming & Setting an Example

“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we’ll augment our intelligence.”

–  Ginni Rometty 

It’s really fascinating to know how AI has become a buzzword for this generation. From news tabloids to let’s say YouTube shorts, everywhere you click on, you will see one or the other podcast, blog or article consisting of the word AI in them. 

AI is EVERYWHERE and it’s extremely POWERFUL! 

You walk into a store, you will find AI-generated product recommendations made only for you and if you want to skip the line, coffee giants make it easy with their AI-enabled voice ordering. Place it beforehand, and you will have your coffee ready by the time you reach the store! In fact, AI in Information Technology is booming like anything! As a matter of fact, it is one of the most talked about topics and we are here to discuss all the deets about it. So, if you have any ifs and buts about AI in your mind, jot it down now in your notebook! Because all your AI in IT questions is sure to get an answer by reading this blog. 

Overview: Importance of Artificial Intelligence in Information Technology

Did you know AI has been around for quite some time? It was actually termed back in 1955, which is almost 69 years from now by a brilliant math professor, John McCarthy at Dartmouth over a seminal conference, stated in an Harvard article. 

Coming back to AI in IT, it is an abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence, a concept of simulation of human intelligence processes with the help of machines, particularly computers. In short, it mimics tasks that were earlier performed by humans. Some of the common AI applications include Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Expert Systems, Speech Recognition and more. 

If we look into the usage of AI in IT, then right now it is majorly used for: 

Automation of Repetitive Tasks

Decision-Making 

Virtual Assistants 

Combating Cyber Security Issues 

& more

Now, as you may be wondering what this blog will include. Well, this blog will delve into the role of AI in the IT industry, the challenges faced by AI, what the benefits it provides to the IT sector and how it has impacted the industry, use cases from worldwide industries, future trends and predictions, and more. 

What Are the Key Challenges Faced by the IT Industry & How AI Resolve Them?

Are you ready to explore some serious questions that have been floating around for some time now? Questions like “How AI has helped the IT industry? Is the IT industry ready for AI? Or what are the challenges that AI helped the IT industry in? What is the future of AI in the IT industry? 

According to Forbes Advisor, ChatGPT which is known as the most talked about AI and we are sure our readers also have heard of it in the last couple of months, surpassed a massive 10 lakh users in just five days of its launch in November 2022. Reports have said that it has helped employees working in tech firms boost their productivity by 14% using AI tools, which makes it clear that IT is definitely ready for AI. 

That was about one of the tools of AI called generative AI. However, AI has helped the IT industry with many challenges. For instance:

1. Data Management & Security

Before AI in IT: Data management and security are the most vital aspects of businesses. Why? Because it manages and handles sensitive data and protects it from hackers or potential threats. Traditionally, data protection was manually, which relied on protocols and processes from the IT industry. Even though this helped in giving a degree of protection, there were still errors and struggles in the growing data volumes. 

After AI in IT: AI had the power to handle large amounts of data, where it was identifying patterns and anomalies to provide real-time insights, hence helping with improving the data protection approaches. 

2. Cybersecurity Threats

Before AI in IT:  In Cybersecurity, traditional techniques make use of signatures of indicators to identify the threats. The thing with this approach is that it can encounter the previous threats however it will have issues in identifying the threats which have not been discovered.

After AI in IT: You can include AI to improve the threat hunting process with the help of behavioural analysis or AI power threat intelligence. Here AI monitors network traffic, system logs to identify threats and activities that may hinder the security risks. We recommend that the best use of AI in Cybersecurity is to combine traditional and AI together for best results. 

3. Technological Advancements

Before AI in IT:  It was difficult to keep track of current trends and competitive market, it would take hours to manually research and adapt to new technologies. It would require experts to first study the market, understand and come up with their solutions. 

After AI in IT:�� Experts can make use of AI tools to help them be competitive, it can analyze the market and provide you with a brief report stating what to do and how to do, so that you can focus on other things which require your full time. 

4. Legacy System Integrations

Before AI in IT: Legacy system’s integration is what IT firms use where it is the process of connecting older or on-premises systems to latest cloud-based digital technologies. Traditionally, IT firms faced challenges in integrating legacy systems with modern technologies, also hindering IT infrastructure updates. 

After AI in IT: When you integrate legacy systems with the help of AI, it eases out the complications and makes seamless integrations and IT infrastructure updates.

Our Advice

By looking at all these challenges and how AI helped them to cope up, we can see a solid change that AI is making in the industry. However, if you ask about what is the future of AI in the IT industry? Well, we can see that it will have major advancements. Right now, it still requires human intervention. In the future, AI might be able to do it all alone, leaving us to focus on other major works.

Let’s Look at the Benefits of AI in Information Technology 

After we’ve seen the update and application of Artificial Intelligence in Information Technology, one thing that might be crossing your mind is the benefits or how AI is really helping IT. Well! Here we have curated the best benefits of AI in IT: 

Advanced & Enhanced Data Analysis: We all know how Automation plays a big role in AI in IT operations management, where you can see speed and accuracy at their best levels. AI can process huge data amounts and extract vital information needed by the firm. IT experts can then use AI to have a better understanding of system performance, user behaviour, market trends, and strategic decision-making.

Compliance & Governance: With monitoring and auditing IT processes, AI can help to make sure that compliance is standard to industry regulations and follow the protocols of governance. AI helps by reducing risks of false positives, confirming that the procedures are actively followed, and more. 

Data Management: AI can help the IT industry find it easy to manage and utilize huge datasets efficiently by providing help in data categorization, retrieval, classification, and more.

Predictive Maintenance: AI has the potential to see what lies in the future. It means it can predict software and hardware failures before they occur with the help of data patterns. This leads to actively maintaining, and reducing unplanned downtime and costs. 

Real-Time Analytics: AI can help provide some real-time analytics on your user behaviour, and system performance which thus leads to giving you access to more time where you can think about making strategic decision-making and responses.

What Are the Major AI Use Cases in the IT industry?

AI has evolved and with time it has captured many departments of IT to help with productivity, efficiency, and decision-making. Below, you will come across some of the most talked about use cases of all time in the IT industry. 

1) Predictive Maintenance: Predictive maintenance is a concept of predicting when an equipment failure might occur and how you can prevent it by performing maintenance. Here AI helps to analyze data from sensors and other sources to identify when a hardware like servers, networking equipment, storage devices may find issues or failures. 

You can schedule maintenance or replacements by understanding the issues, identifying warning signs early, preventing downtime and minimizing operational costs. 

2) IT Support: You might have seen how difficult it becomes to handle user inquiries and technical issues. At times like this, AI can really support the IT support team. How? Through advanced AI chatbots, or virtual assistants that can manage ticketing systems, routine requests and enhance user satisfaction. By tackling such issues, it will enable you to work on other challenges and strategic initiatives. 

3) Cybersecurity: As you may already know how big the role of cybersecurity is in the IT industry. Now let’s see the impact it has in cybersecurity. So, AI monitors network traffic, system logs, and user behaviour wherein it helps to identify anomalies and activities that might be causing issues. By going through these data in real-time, you can get to know the threats involved, malware, intrusion attempts that can go unnoticed with traditional security measures. 

AI will help you get trigger alerts, automate incident response actions, and block or isolate malicious activities or affected devices. It improves your cybersecurity and mitigate risks, reducing response time and safeguarding your data and resources from attacks. 

4) Data Analytics: AI can help you to extract valuable information from complex datasets which might take hours if done manually. It can help to find out trends, patterns and correlations that might be hidden in traditional mode. These collected data then help to drive decision-making across various business domains. 

Plus, it also benefits in providing actionable strategies to run business processes and improve efficiency. AI can also help with data visualization, uncovering detailed insights, automate report generation and more. In fact, with NLP, also known as Natural Language Processing, you can implement conversational style for users when they ask about data and receive insights, making data more accessible to non-technical individuals. 

What Are the Future Trends & Forecasts About AI in Information Technology?

As we have seen the potential that AI has in the IT industry and how it has impacted so far for various fields, it will be fascinating to see what it holds in the future. Everyone, including you and me, have our own ideas and perspectives surrounding Artificial Intelligence.
