Using a generalized three-stage architect ure\, this presentation shows how uneven digital automation across the sys tem's stages creates severe scaling challenges. Early applicability of dig ital automation to the initial information processing stage induced a bott leneck in the second\, largely manual\, knowledge processing stage\, which organizations have tried to solve by hiring massive teams of analysts. Re cent advances in generalized computation\, such as Large Language Models ( LLMs) and deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs)\, offer a path to aut omating this knowledge work. The presentation concludes by predicting tha t this digital augmentation of knowledge processing will ease the current bottleneck in partially digitized decision support systems\, which has the potential to fundamentally alter the competitive landscape\, enabling sma ller\, more agile organizations to achieve a level of decision-making soph istication that was previously the exclusive domain of tech giants.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/265/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
