Review Invitation: AI Partner Framework

I've just launched a new AI Partner Framework on LinkedIn because I'm seeing a lot of conversations about AI replacing humans, and companies laying people off because of AI (and then rehiring a lot of them back after realizing their mistake). 

What I'm not seeing in these conversations is a thoughtful process to determine where AI is appropriate and where humans are still critical. So, I built a simple framework to aid the decision-making process and remind us of what AI can do - but more importantly, what it can't. 

Instead of asking "will AI replace this role," I propose leading with a different question. The better one is "who is better positioned to lead this task at this stage - and why?"

I then mapped six standard phases that apply to project lifecycles across a variety of roles and looked at where AI can and should be leveraged, and where the human - the expert - should be leading. 

There's a deeper dive as well, as I've mapped each phase to show what the AI Partner Framework looks like when applied to Instructional Design. 

In a world where people everywhere are afraid of being made redundant, we need to remind ourselves and our leadership that the deep expertise - the judgment, accountability, and relationship-building we have developed simply can't be replaced by AI. 

I'd love to have you look at it and let me know what you think.
