Until enterprises have functional leaders who can detect BS in #AI vendors (by understanding the use-case range, and having a conceptual grasp of how AI works/is adopted), companies will often buy whoever makes the boldest claims.

Banks flew to adopt #chatbots 2-3 years ago for two reasons:

1. They thought it would make them look “hip” and convenient to their customers and investors.

2. They saw all their competitors announcing success story press releases about chatbots...

Being non-technical, but able to spot legitimate AI opportunities / manage AI projects = More valuable in the market than getting an MBA.

...

Ambitious managers/VPs shouldn't go back to school, they should find firms where they can get actual #AI strategy/deployment experience.

THREAD: Go Strategy First in Your #AI Projects, or Pay the Price

Fun fact:

If your #AI project is predicated on solving one discrete problem (i.e. a band-aid), you're inordinately likely to fail.

Disappointed to see today's Executive Order. I believe the US economy, the tech industry, & HubSpot benefit greatly from global perspectives. This move is a step backward in our ability to attract great talent from around the world.

@mvolpe Yuuuuup

[Daniel Faggella @danfaggella]

I learned a lot (the hard way!) taking my first eCommerce firm from 0 to $2MM.

Those same habits are useful at @Emerj as we pivot in light of #COVID19.

@ElainePofeldt of @Forbes interviewed me about applying scrappiness in today's business climate:

3 faces, 1 #AI

In 2-3 years, AI-generated photorealistic bodies/poses - not just faces will be here.

Not terribly long after that, real-looking video of these AI avatars.

Maybe in 15 years, indistinguishably real personalities. Then everyone changes:

If scrutinized thoroughly, there is almost certainly something offensive about any @AI use-case.

The question is:

a)Was that really the intent?

b)Do we want to pose a new way to ad value/solve the problem, or do we simply wish to preen our moral feathers by shunning others?
