I had the opportunity to join Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros, The Sleeping Barber Podcast, along with co-guest Craig Haney, Head of Ventures at AltaML as we chatted about Artificial Intelligence.
I really enjoyed this discussion and the insights that Craig brought to the table around the current state of AI, where it is going and what it will mean for organizations.
A few highlights that I shared:
In the age of AI, I believe 3 things will separate great companies from the rest, these include 1) brand trust, 2) data collection and usage, 3) user experience. I also think that business models will change as many business models are built on the interim steps (think Search) to terms of discovery, where AI will eliminate many of the steps that are designed to generate revenue.
