When Does AI Have Business Impact? | Pryon CEO Igor Jablokov
People don’t want AI - they want solutions.
From Infinia ML | Intelligent Document Processing | https://hubs.ly/H0R9qX20
Do you want your AI system to have real business impact? Listen to Igor Jablokov.
Igor's voice recognition company Yap was acquired by Amazon and the technology became part of Alexa.
Now, he’s the CEO and founder of Pryon, which uses AI for knowledge management.
Three lessons from our conversation:
1. Focus on Solutions, Not Technology
2. Focus on User Experience
3. Focus on the Fittest (as in, in the survival of)
“Many executives have the lifespan of a fruit fly. They basically have less than six months to show impact. And they couldn't care less if they have to adopt snow cones or AI in order to do that.”

Seriously - Why Are You Doing AI? | Evisort CEO Jerry Ting
AI for everyone is more like AI for no one.
From Infinia ML | Intelligent Document Processing | https://hubs.ly/H0RcTqk0
Jerry Ting, co-founder and CEO of contract processing company Evisort, shares bedrock principles for applying AI in any business:
1. Aim for Business Impact
2. Pick a Specific Problem
3. Rethink How People Work
“I think there's no value business-wise in applying AI just to apply AI. It means nothing. . . . If you can't reduce costs or generate more revenue, you can have the best technology in the world, but from a business perspective, who cares?”

How Should You Automate Workers? | NY Times Columnist Kevin Roose
Adding AI and automation to your workforce? Better listen to your workers.
Infinia ML | Intelligent Document Processing | https://hubs.ly/H0QcCNs0
Kevin Roose, New York Times technology columnist and author of Futureproof: 9 Rules for Humans in the Age of Automation, shares three lessons for business leaders on Machine Meets World.
"Often the parts that seem boring to a manager are actually kind of the fun parts for a worker,” says Kevin.
"Involving people in the process, asking them, 'which parts of your job can be augmented, how would you like to be augmented in your work?' rather than just imposing the stuff from the top down seems to be a better path."

From Infinia ML | Intelligent Document Processing | https://infiniaml.com
OpenAI Senior Vice President of Research, Product & Partnerships Mira Murati shares lessons for leaders on Machine Meets World, Infinia ML's ongoing conversation about artificial intelligence.
“You don't have to write in the language of the machine” says Mira. “You're providing your commands in natural language.”
