Generative AI didn’t make us worse at problem-solving, it made us faster at exposing a habit we already have: jumping to solutions before understanding the problem.
By making answers instant and confident, it is amplifying shallow, short-term fixes that feel productive but simply hide or move problems elsewhere, creating an efficient inefficiency.
This talk engages the audience by challenging them to critically assess AI-generated content and introduces the simple practice of pausing to ask, “What problem are we actually solving?”, and how this helps uncover the root causes of underlying system issues. You’ll learn how slowing down briefly can prevent brittle solutions and lead to better outcomes, even in high-pressure environments.
Target Audience: Architects, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Software Engineers, and Tech Leaders.
