Finding the Unknown Unknowns - the True Value of AI for an Organization

It is increasingly common to invest into AI to automate the repetitive tasks ("known knowns") or to explore questions that can be articulated but cannot be answered ("known unknowns”). Yet, some of the most valuable uses of AI for a company is tackling the "unknown unknowns" — these are insights that managers don't even realize are missing until they are unearthed by the output of an AI model. By exploring years of sensor data, call logs, or shipment records, these AI models can surface correlations and anomalies quickly and that may have otherwise escaped human analysis: excess energy usage during production, chronic micro‑stoppages in a distribution network, unexpected cross‑selling opportunities in commercial pathways.  Many organizations manage their operations through budgets, KPIs, OKR's and risk reviews, which are designed for defined problems.  The ability of an AI model to augment ‘discovery value’ widens a firm’s operational possibilities. 

Canadian firms tend to explore fewer AI applications compared to their global peers, missing out on productivity gains and innovation opportunities.  AI Literacy can change this.
