Regarding the phrase “EA has to align with AI” — a revolutionary flag being waved high. This time by Gartner:
This is completely upside down. EA will not change because of AI; to suggest otherwise misses the point of EA entirely. For 50 years, EA has matured into a vital tool. EA is a precision instrument that tells you, me, and all of us whether a business is truly aligned with its technology.
P.S. Go down that road, and everything has to bend to AI — not just ITIL, PRINCE2, and Six Sigma, but medicine, math, and physics, too.
P.P.S. An LLM is just an online chatbot — nothing more, nothing less. “AI” is just marketing, and marketing is just a pseudo-science designed to manipulate public attention.
Solid reductio ad absurdum on the “X must adapt to AI” genre. The instrument does not redesign itself around the thing it is measuring.
