To book a meeting to discuss AI and other business change with Andrew - https://calendly.com/andrew-gaule/30min? Chris Noring and Andrew Gaule discuss Microsoft's pivot towards being an AI-first company through investments in models like OpenAI. Noring shares how he sees businesses moving away from search engine optimization to instead optimizing for AI assistants. He predicts the need for AI coaches similar to agile coaches to help companies adopt AI. Noring and Gaule explore the role of partnerships in AI adoption. They also debate approaches for measuring ROI and strategic value of AI investments. Overall, they are excited by the potential for AI to free up human time for more creative, strategic work. However, they emphasize that successful implementation requires change management and clear communication between technology partners and business stakeholders. Leveraging AI to Transform Your Business Purpose: The core purpose for businesses adopting AI should be to integrate it in a way that augments human capabilities and transforms business models, rather than solely focusing on cost savings. AI can elevate human productivity and creativity. Companies should find opportunities for leveraging AI across all products and data sources. Process: The process for implementing AI requires starting with small experiments on discrete use cases where impact can be measured, before scaling across the organization. Hands-on workshops can show employees AI’s value and help them become comfortable interacting with systems using natural language prompts. Starting with no-code solutions allows for rapid prototyping. People: A key requirement for successfully leveraging AI is change management and upskilling employees to effectively utilize these new tools. “AI coaches” will be crucial to help workers adapt, much as “agile coaches” emerged. Enhanced communication skills and clarity when providing prompts and requirements will drive optimal AI output. Partners: AI adoption requires both business and technology partners. Communication partners can translate business needs while technical partners handle solution implementation. Look for partners with domain expertise in your industry who also understand core barriers to organizational change management. Vet partners thoroughly regarding data privacy and security. Performance Measures: The ROI of AI investments can be measured based on time savings and bottom line business performance where applicable. In some cases, AI competency is a strategic imperative for competitiveness. Set goals and KPIs early about what business objectives AI solutions will achieve. Continually assess how worker time is freed up to focus on more creative, strategic initiatives after AI automation. With the right vision and preparation, AI technology offers enormous potential to transform businesses by enhancing human productivity and innovation. Following the strategies around purpose, process, people, partners and performance measurement outlined above will set your organization up for success.

See this and other video content at Aimava Purpose to Performance Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV9o-htFNIk9Yt7jp2XcdWw Nigel outlines how far AI has advanced, from beating the world champion at Go to the recent explosion in popularity of chatbots like ChatGPT. Underpinning these leaps in software are rapid gains in semiconductor chips, improving at an astonishing 25 billion fold over 60 years. Graphcore builds specialty AI chips to provide an alternative to dominant player Nvidia, allowing more researchers to accelerate discoveries. Beyond keeping up with technical progress, Nigel stresses that education must transform to prioritize creativity over rote learning. He welcomes AI-assisted teaching tailored to individuals. Regarding ethical concerns, Nigel argues biases come from flawed data rather than being inherent to AI systems. Still, developers must pledge transparency while testing for unfair impacts on diverse groups. With sensible safeguards, AI can augment human intelligence to solve previously intractable problems. The technology itself is neither good nor bad; it merely amplifies our own goals and values. Here are six key topics from the interview Graphcore's AI chips Enable more parallel processing like the human brain Optimized to accelerate neural networks for complex AI workloads Provide an alternative to Nvidia for AI compute in data centers Comparing AI and human cognition Many subconscious brain skills remain beyond AI systems currently Things easy for people often prove difficult computationally Future computing may better approximate biological infrastructure AI adoption in China Leading aggressive deployment of AI across many sectors Rapid integration into education at early ages Authoritarian system enables swift data collection and trials AI's economic impact Potential to augment productivity on par with industrial revolution Requires rethinking of education models and job training Risk of automating certain jobs must be mitigated Ethics of AI systems Biases originate from flawed training data rather than inherently Guidelines needed to ensure transparency and test for harm Clearly unethical applications should be banned Hardware progress enabling AI Exponential improvements in semiconductors underlying gains Future quantum and molecular computing shifts possible Enormous data digitization also crucial for progress To book a meeting to discuss AI and other business change with Andrew - https://calendly.com/andrew-gaule/30min?…

The discussion examines recent high-profile copyright lawsuits against AI firms related to training machine learning models. While outcomes remain unresolved, Portman expects some form of licensing models to emerge. On output generated by AI systems, current legal consensus necessitates human creativity for IP protections. However, proving human authorship could grow increasingly difficult. Shifting to AI regulation, while frameworks vary across regions, most balance protecting the public with encouraging innovation. However, Portman notes enforcement lags capability evolution. Meanwhile from a business standpoint, Gaule emphasizes focusing less on AI risks, and more on the promise of transformations to value chains across many industries. Though acknowledging some job losses, historical precedents suggest new opportunities will emerge.
