Enterprise AI Design: Maximize Reliability Over Raw Intelligence
iamKierraD · x · 2026-07-30
The author argues that while enterprise leaders treat AI as a race to maximize intelligence, the highest ROI actually comes from maximizing reliability.
She suggests introducing "intelligence" only where ambiguity, judgment, or synthesis are strictly required. The best production systems should be deterministic by default, featuring carefully placed "pockets of intelligence" at critical nodes where they deliver the most value.
