In Kawaru Consulting We continue to be committed to leading the way in digital transformation and data governance. Therefore, we have had the pleasure of participating as sponsors and moderators in the recent professional meeting dedicated to analyzing a critical binomial for today's organizations: the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Human Intelligence (HI).
Under the title «The future of document management: Challenges and threats«, The round table moderated by our team brought together top experts to discuss how document management has gone from being a "back-office" task to becoming the strategic spine of any modern entity.
1. The Achilles' Heel: AI without the filter of Human Intelligence
One of the major points of consensus during the day was the warning about the "false sense of security" in technology. As highlighted during the debate, applying AI without the criteria of... Human Intelligence (HI) It's a recipe for disaster. While AI processes massive volumes, only HI provides the context, meaning and legal validity necessary.
«"Document managers are not going to disappear... at least not those of us who jump on the AI and data governance bandwagon."», It was stated emphatically, positioning the information professional as the "engineer" capable of extracting diamonds from algorithmic noise.
2. Driving towards the future while looking in the "rearview mirror"«
Using the analogy of a Ferrari, the discussion focused on how technological speed can create blind spots if the data lineage (traceability and provenance). At Kawaru, we maintain that a solid digital present cannot be built by ignoring the strategic past:
-
Legacy Systems: The challenge of integrating old structures.
-
Unstructured Information: The risk of critical data "leaking" in emails or social networks.
-
The Paper Backlog: Digitization of historical records with criteria that guarantee current rights.
3. Digitizing is not Transforming: Towards Data Uniqueness
A key point of our moderation was the imperative to not to "digitize chaos"«. True transformation requires breaking down silos to achieve uniqueness of the data. Technology (AI, clouds, devices) should always be secondary to organizational design and intelligent process management that guarantees a "single truth" for the citizen or customer.
4. Red Lines: Ethical decisions cannot be delegated
Clear limits were established: there are decisions that cannot be left to an algorithmic "black box." authenticity, the final disposition of documents, and privacy These are legal and ethical responsibilities that require mandatory human oversight. explainability —knowing why an AI reaches a conclusion— is non-negotiable today.
5. The AI Act as a safe playing field
Far from being a hindrance, the new EU Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act) It is presented as the framework that allows progress with confidence. Success stories such as the "Justice Folder" or the use of RPA (robotic automation) in monitoring processes —which have reduced management from 30 days to just 1— demonstrate that the greatest risk today is not technology, but the fear of not embracing automation with a critical sense.
Conclusion: The new profile of the information strategist
The event concluded with a clear vision: by 2030, the document manager will be a hybrid professional with strategic vision, political leadership, and the ability to negotiate between business and technology. Kawaru Consulting, As experts in memory and governance, we are ready to help organizations build data strategies that do not ignore their history or the rights of individuals.
