Top Takeaways:

• What do we mean when we talk about AI for business? It is a technology that understands the language of your business and automates workflows and processes in a trustworthy manner that complies with regulations.
• When organizations build AI, they make it to solve a problem, but they don’t often think of the humans that are involved until the end. When building AI solutions, we must start with who will use the AI and why. Then, recognize that the person using the AI technology and the person impacted by it may not be the same person.
• AI technology can help us eliminate or reduce the human tendency to have biases when we’re driving decisions.
• Seth also shares how we can understand the problems that our customers, employees, and contractors face and the value AI creates for them. Plus, we take a peek at the AI trends that we can expect in the very near future. Tune in!

Quotes:

“The ultimate goal of the AI is not to have a cool project. The goal is to drive business value through providing great customer care.”

“When leveraging data and AI in your business, you need to focus on who uses the AI and who it impacts.”

“AI technology must begin with understanding humans, the language we speak in business, and in interacting with each other.”

“During the pandemic, we saw a huge acceleration of organizations, companies, governments, and healthcare entities using AI for customer care. Leveraging AI was able to deflect 90% of the conversation, so that the 10% who really needed to speak to a human could.”
