“If You Don’t Know AI, You’re Going to Fail” — Mark Cuban
To those who don’t take the subject seriously or who, under the pretext of being too old while still running a company, pass the buck to their IT guys (those who do will recognize themselves), if you’re not familiar with AI, you’re going to crash and burn.
End of story.
Some have told me, not without a hint of sarcasm, “Pat, you’re trying to sell your spiel. You’re bothering us with your AI and automation solutions.” All I can say to them is that I wouldn’t bet much on their future.
AI is indeed nothing like other technologies that have dotted human history. Its development is nothing like it. It’s ultra-fast. Infinitely faster than traditional technology. And for a very simple reason. Because this intelligence learns. On its own. As it learns, it refines itself, and its development accelerates. It used to be up to humans to iterate and test to improve the machine. Today, it does the iterations on its own, and at a crazy speed. Bots like Air.ai that seemed incredible upon their release just a few months ago are already, yes, already, surpassed by others even more performant, like that startup based in Berlin that designed a bot programmed to conduct preliminary interviews with job candidates with an extremely short latency (question-answer).
