Fusion42 Open Call February 8th, 2024
💡 How AI is going to change everything
We embarked on a dive into the world of artificial intelligence in business, with illuminating insights from Avishay (AJ) Segal of Appenue AI, Manish Patel of Jiva.ai, and Derek Watson of Fusion42 and some fantastic insights from our audience.
This session shed light on AI's transformative potential and the huge complex challenges it presents to corporate adoption, startup innovation, and the development of advanced AI models.
Key Takeaways from Our Dynamic Discussion:
Global AI Adoption Variances:
We discussed the significant disparities in GenAI adoption rates across different regions, emphasizing the higher uptake in areas like Singapore, where corporate adoption rates soar to 85% and individual rates to 92%. This contrasts starkly with the West, where engagement is more tepid.
The Efficiency Paradox:
The conversation revealed an intriguing paradox; while GenAI promises to streamline operations, it currently prolongs the discovery process due to its nascent integration into business ecosystems. This underscores the urgent need for strategies that fully leverage GenAI's capabilities.
Subjective Strengths vs. Objective Challenges:
GenAI excels in subjective applications but struggles with the precision required for objective, data-driven fields. Our experts highlighted the necessity for multi-model AI solutions, especially in healthcare and finance, where nuanced, high-fidelity responses are crucial.
Changing the Narrative on AI in Healthcare:
A fascinating discussion point was the hesitancy within the healthcare sector to label solutions as "AI" due to potential biases and the fear of insurance and liability issues. This has led to a strategic shift towards describing AI as an augmentative tool, rather than a standalone solution, to encourage wider acceptance and integration.
Data Privacy and Ethical AI:
The dialogue also touched on the pressing issues of data privacy and the need for ethical AI frameworks. It's clear that as AI becomes more embedded in our lives, establishing robust, ethical guidelines and regulations will be paramount to ensure its beneficial and secure use.
The Future is Multi-Model:
The unanimous conclusion from our discussion is the imperative for adopting multi-model approaches to AI. These comprehensive solutions can address the complex, multifaceted problems our world faces, transcending the capabilities of GenAI alone.
Let's thank all the makers of transformer GEN AI tech for showing many the power of AI. At this point in the development and adoption cycle, the reality is that applications solving pressing business needs are very limited.
Other discussion points that were touched on and certainly deserve their own space and time were:
Development and Design AI Impact:
Discussion revealed how AI, notably GitHub Copilot, is transforming tech by automating routine tasks, allowing developers to focus on complex problem-solving. This evolution hints at a reduced need for junior roles, stressing the importance of advanced skills.
AI in Talent Acquisition:
AI's role in automating early hiring stages, from resume screening to initial interviews, was discussed. This use of AI aims to streamline recruitment, reduce bias, and improve efficiency.
AI Placebo Effect:
Highlighted was the phenomenon where AI's perceived efficiency in organisations may not match actual outcomes, questioning its real impact on productivity and operational enhancement.
The Impact of AI on Learning and Development:
There's an underlying theme about the necessity for continuous learning and adaptation in the face of AI advancements. The discussion suggests that as AI takes over more routine tasks, there will be a greater need for skills development in creative problem-solving and strategic thinking.
